This program seems to be the perfect tool for teachers and students to interact in this generation with today’s technology. Youth are so involved in text messaging, instant messaging, and social websites that their attention is usually misplaced in face-to-face settings and this program can bring their focus back into the classroom. Many students are not comfortable speaking in front of the entire class for reasons of embarrassment, and this way they are able to communicate directly one –on-one with the teacher without bringing attention to themselves which can build on their confidence and security levels. The process of having immediate interaction and reaction from the teacher is the selling point to this program and it should absolutely be implemented into every school.
Questions:
1. Why is it beneficial to have immediate results?
Often what many do not realize is the stress and anxiety that goes into test taking. Even if a student is fully aware of the material and can succeed in teaching it to someone else, when put on the spot in a test format, many become too nervous to perform correctly and temporary forget or confuse the material. Therefore having to wait weeks for a test result only makes it worse on the student who is assuming the worst and not really ready to take in any more or new knowledge at this point.
2. What procedures can be practiced with feedback results?
These feedback results will show the percentage of students that did well or poorly in certain areas giving the teacher a chance to review with the students in the event that a significant number performed poorly in any given area. With this feedback, students will be able to understand the review of the material while it is still fresh in their mind rather than weeks later when they are in the process of learning new material and become confused.
