Using the Quizzler in class
I was thankful I came to Tuesday’s class or else I would have missed the opportunity. When I came back to my class the following week, I gave the Vocabulary 19 & 20 test to my 6th grade class using the Quizzler. Of course, it was my first time to use it with the students so I came across a minor problem. It was just when students beamed their scores to me, my unit didn’t accept or even recognize it. I found out later that I have to register the Gradebook program first in order for the students grades to be compiled. It was exciting to see the students’ enthusiasm to use the handhelds. I paired up students who were already familiar with the handhelds since 5th grade with new students. They were helping their new classmates learn how to operate and trouble shoot their unit.
Another program I have tried using is Smartlist To go. With this program I have created a database for my personal books, and books only for Book Club. I’m planning to create one for the Board of Review, but I still have to work on it. The more I use my handheld, the more I find it useful & easy.
