The Motivation of
Renaissance Response Pads.
Why Response Pads?
The Renaissance
Classroom Response System allows you to easily
encourage
classroom participation and quickly assess
student performance.
With its state-of-the-art wireless communication technology
between the software and students’ remote handheld devices, you
can literally communicate with each student in your classroom to
accelerate learning, increase self-confidence, and make learning
and teaching fun again!
With the Renaissance
Classroom Response System, you will:
Engage
students in learning. The Renaissance Classroom Response System
provides an interactive, anonymous, and non-threatening way for
students to communicate with teachers that encourages classroom
participation and supports learning. It also supports
student-paced learning.
Obtain
instant feedback. With state-of-the-art wireless communication
between the software and students' handheld remotes, you can
immediately assess student performance using real-time scoring.
Improve
student skills and confidence. Through more targeted instruction,
you can help students develop improved skills and greater
self-confidence, which results in stronger academic performances
and higher test scores.
Enjoy
better technology at a lower price! The handheld remotes
communicate with your desktop software via new, breakthrough,
low-power wireless technology that is especially helpful in
extending battery life (each remote unit is powered by just two AA
batteries!). This technology is significantly better and more
reliable than IR-based communications and is not limited by line
of sight.
Save time.
You’ll save time by automating assessment scoring and by having
results go immediately to your gradebook software. This means
you’ll have more time to do what you do best: teach!
The Renaissance
Classroom Response System literally provides you with thousands of
options for creating, choosing, and incorporating content. Using
software that runs on your computer (Windows or Macintosh), you
can create a variety of different assessments—everything from
single questions to quizzes and tests. The software comes with
ready-made content, item banks for customized content, the ability
to input to formal assessments, and much more. You can choose from
one thousand ready-to-use items for math, reading, language arts,
science, and social studies that come with your software. You can
also download sets of questions that correspond to popular
textbooks!
