Mr. Warner's 4th grade class has been studying for the state assessments using a variety of resources. "Our class has been very fortunate to use a new piece of technology to help us prepare for assessments." A Classroom Performance System (CPS) is being used to vary instruction. Each student has a clicker that they use individually to respond to a question that has been projected onto the whiteboard. This system allows an immediate response and answer. "As students respond to questions, I can see the response given by a student on my computer." The immediate response allows the teacher to quickly identify areas of strengths and weaknesses. "I really enjoy the rapid feedback I get from the new system".
