====Student Response Systems consists of a set of "remotes" or "clickers" that students can use to answer questions, giving both teachers and students immediate feedback. Teachers can prepare formative and summative assessments by either creating single questions or entire quizzes using this system, and each student in the class has his/her own individual remote to use to answer the questions. Benefits of using Student Response systems include: ====
 * ====Immediate feedback for teachers and students ====
 * ====Increased student engagement ====
 * ====Eases student anxiety by allowing anonymity ====
 * ====Easy analysis of student understanding ====
 * ====Can be used for formative or summative assessments ====
 * ====Instantly saves students' results ====
 * ====and more... ====

__**ISTE Standards for Teachers **__
Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. 1. Design and develop digital age, learning experiences, and assessments

2. Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessments incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the Standards•S. a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress c. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources d. Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards, and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching
 * 1) Promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness
 * 2) Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources
 * 3) Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students’ conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes
 * 4) Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environment

**__Content uses of this technology__**
====Student Response Systems (also known as clickers) can be used in any subject area. Clickers are used for formative assessments. You can create assessments that are multiple choice and/or true or false questions. There are different ways to deliver the content using clickers. You can administer tests and quizzes or you can create games such as Jeopardy to use with the clickers. In my classroom I have used clickers for formative assessments where my students answered multiple choice questions and as a chapter review before the test. For the chapter review, I created a Jeopardy styled game where my students were divided into two teams to play the game. All the content was from the unit that they learned about prior to playing the game. Data was collected from the game and I used it to track knowledge of content before the actual assessment.====

__**Pedagogical Considerations for this technology.**__
Student Response Systems (Clickers) have many pedagogical benefits such as allowing:
 * ==== Students have the opportunity to self assess themselves and evaluate their understanding of content by reviewing the outcomes from the assessments given. ====
 * ====Students are engaged when using clickers.====
 * ====Students are more willing to participate in responding to questions because there isn't any peer pressure and you can make it anonymous.====
 * ====Students can become active participants in group discussions.====
