Student Response Systems

Miller Elementary classrooms have a variety of devices that enhance interactive learning by giving event the most timid students a voice, enabling educators to assess the entire class, while teaching based on the needs of individuals.
With these devices, teachers won't have to guess whether students truly grasp the lesson content. The entire class clicks to respond and answers are instantly viewed, shared and analyzed in easy to understand formats, such as a bar graph and pie chart. From here, teachers can decide if they need to review, re-teach or proceed with the remainder of the lesson.
