Journal 4, Vernier in Projects

By welstead

If I was working in a school and wanted this program to be purchased by the school my first strategy would be to show the principal directly how useful it can be. I think showing him or her through demonstration is the best way. Not only is this useful in the classroom for asking children questions but this can be used in a variety of ways by administration to get feedback from other teachers and faculty members about what they think about issues. The main issue I feel would be showing the board that this is more than just an online multiple choice test taker. They may not see how this is necessary in the classroom. Having an instrument that can make the class turn into a forum is very constructive and something like this takes all the information of the class, polls it instantly, and allows the students to see what other students think without addressing people by name. Being able to see how most of the class feels after one round of questioning then letting them discuss and poll again is vital in the class. The best way would be to get this program on your computer and invite the principal into a discussion that occurs and see what he or she thinks. The swapping of thoughts and ideas in such a quick manner has not been as easily achieved before technology like this and that alone is worth purchasing it.
