These are all important concepts in the classroom and the Interactive Classroom Response System helps to achieve these.

The Interactive Classroom Response System uses are many and varied from simple quizzes to testing, learning games and lessons. Feedback can be to the teacher or the pupils allowing it to be used as a teaching aid for groups on their own or the entire class to allow feedback and analysis of the information. It can inject a new passion into your subject and a fresh approach to familiar material. Best of all its FUN!
The Interactive Classroom Response System can:
- Saves time and energy - according to 2003 ICT in School Survey ICT helps reduce teacher workload in terms of lesson preparation, planning and assessment.
- Delivery and assessment of the Citizenship curriculum.
- Pupil participation in the classroom and the democracy of the school - school elections, views from students on school policies or proposals.
- Parent, community or governor consultation focus group management.
- Potential to identify and address learning difficulties.
- Opportunity to add to the variety of teaching methods available to meet preferred learning styles.
- IT programs can be easily designed by the teacher allowing the information to be customised as relevant to the class rather than pre-set.
