Active Participation Is Key to Student Learning
2/1/2011 By:
The SMART Response product line
provides assessment options for every
learning environment. Each of the five
unique models uses the same file format
for consistency within schools and
across districts, and supports both
school- and district-level reporting. In
addition, each model gives teachers the
ability to instantly track quiz results
and lesson comprehension to gain
immediate insight into student learning
and help increase overall retention and
engagement.
The clickers are based on radio
frequency technology, which means
that no direct line of sight between the
clicker and the receiver is required.
Students can use the unit in a natural
way without worrying about pointing
the clicker at the receiver.
Here is a quick look at the five different
types of SMART Response systems.
SMART Response
PE: Ideal for most
K-12 classrooms,
SMART Response
PE includes wireless
clickers and powerful
assessment software
that allows
teachers to create
assessments easily,
manage classroom
data instantly and
effortlessly, and
evaluate student
progress quickly.
SMART Response
software guides
you through every
task with intuitive
prompts, clear directions, and direct links.
In addition, it integrates seamlessly with
SMART Notebook collaborative learning
software, giving you all the tools you need
to design engaging and interactive test
material.
SMART Response LE:
Designed for early education
students and
learners with special
needs, SMART Response
LE features simple and
colorful remotes that
students at all reading
levels can use to answer
questions, receive
instant feedback and
stay engaged in lessons.
The big buttons on the
easy-to-hold remotes
ensure that students
who struggle with finemotor
skills can stay involved, too. Teachers
can gauge student understanding on the
spot and adjust their teaching accordingly
to be assured that every student in the classroom
is following the lesson.
SMART Response XE: Designed for the
sophisticated needs of secondary students,
SMART Response XE is the newest addition
to the growing SMART Response produce
line. It features a full QWERTY keyboard,
which gives teachers the flexibility to ask
more types of questions and students the
ability to provide a wider range of responses,
including those requiring advanced
math and science equations.
SMART Response CE: Designed for computer-
enabled learning environments,
SMART Response CE is specially created
assessment software that lets students
respond from their own computers, rather than from handheld remotes. Teachers use
the assessment software to tally student
responses to tests and quizzes, evaluate
their understanding of the lesson’s content,
adjust lessons on the fly and provide
in-class feedback using accurate data.
SMART Response CE software integrates
with SMART Notebook SE (Student Edition)

teachers to conduct planned or spontaneous
quizzes and tests, as well as report,
track, and evaluate their students’ results.
