Turning Technologies, LLC, the leader in the student response industry, announced the availability of ResponseCard® AnyWhere™, its newest and most versatile student response system yet. An LCD screen-equipped handheld receiver for teachers that is approximately the size of a deck of cards, ResponseCard AnyWhere is the perfect solution for teachers and administrators who need a highly portable, preparation-free polling solution that doesn’t require a projector or computer.
Unlike other systems in Turning Technologies’ TurningPoint® audience response line, ResponseCard AnyWhere does not require a projector or computer, or even electrical outlets to operate—lowering the investment costs related to implementation of response technology and opening up the assessment and feedback benefits to nearly any educational environment.
“When I hear good things from my staff regarding new technology, I know my day will run a little more smoothly,” says Al Cervello, Principal at West Boulevard Elementary, Youngstown, Ohio.
Karen Grimes, Columbiana County Career and Technical Center, summarized her experience with a ResponseCard AnyWhere system as “not intimidating like other new technology.”
This easy-to-use system allows for polling with the press of a button. Educators only need to ask a question of their class and press one button on the ResponseCard AnyWhere receiver to open polling. Students respond to the question via ResponseCard RF keypads selecting options A through J from the multiple choice options presented with the question. The handheld receiver tabulates and displays the results via the LCD screen as soon as the user closes polling.
ResponseCard AnyWhere’s simple user interface and mobility allows educational institutes to implement immediate assessment and feedback opportunities. ResponseCard Anywhere is ideal for traditional classroom environments that don’t have the luxury of daily access to projectors and computers or for nontraditional learning environments such as outdoor studies or field trips.
“By including an LCD screen on each receiver, ResponseCard AnyWhere becomes not only more portable and more flexible than existing projector-based systems, but also more discreet. In many respects, ResponseCard AnyWhere is our most powerful response system yet,” says Mike Broderick, CEO of Turning Technologies, LLC.
Responses to multiple questions and sessions can be wirelessly stored in each ResponseCard AnyWhere receiver. If desired, results can also be downloaded via a USB cable to a PC for reporting purposes using ResponseCard AnyWhere Desktop software.
