Promethean ACTIVote Hand-Held Student Assessment Devices

ACTIVote hand-held response devices make it easy to incorporate formative assessment into lessons.  A Question Master Wizard is fully integrated so there is no need to learn another software program for question creation.  And because feedback is instant, teachers can change direction mid-lesson, address misunderstandings or review areas where students are struggling.

The ACTIVote unit itself features an ergonomic, compact egg-shape that fits comfortably and securely in a child’s hand.  The rugged construction includes a tamper-proof battery compartment and a rubber-coated surface that minimizes slippage.  A specially designed lockable case provides secure storage and easy transport for the 32 ACTIVote units.

Benefits of using ACTIVote include:

  • Students become engaged and retain more information from the lesson.
  • Formative assessment becomes truly enjoyable.
  • Teachers and students are provided with immediate feedback.
  • Efficient assessment process reduces the need for marking papers.
  • Even reluctant learners are motivated to respond.
  • Responses can be anonymous if required, encouraging response from all students.
