Activexpression

Student Contribution and Assessment








YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A MINDREADER
To know what your students are thinking, just give them an Activexpression and find out for yourself! What a student says out loud is not always what they know or think. Give your students a voice in the classroom with the Promethean Activexpression.

Promethean's new class assessment devices allows students to express themselves - through words, phrases, symbols, and numbers - and instantly share their views with the entire class.


ALLOW STUDENTS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES
Activexpression provides direct communication to the teacher and the Activboard, and with the intuitive design, students are instantly engaged and ready for each lesson. Teachers immediately know how well students understand a lesson or idea, and students are more focused with Promethean's assessment solutions.


IMAGINE THE RESULTS

	Ask students to suggest a bank of words and ideas that can be shown on the Activboard and used for discussion during creative writing class.
	Improve the quality and range of feedback available to the teacher by asking students to comment on a piece of displayed work.
	Create situations for students to develop higher order thinking skills when responding to questions that are not supplied with a "correct" answer.
	Instantly show and discuss their range of responses.

INSTRUCTION MADE EASY
Designed to also meet the needs of teachers, information can be transmitted directly to students, or can be reviewed for lesson planning, and evaluated – all at the touch of a button!


THE EXPERTS AGREE

Research indicates that improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors:

	Providing effective feedback to students
	Involving students in their own learning
	Adjusting instruction based on the results of assessment
	Seeing the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self esteem of students, both of which are crucial influences on learning
	Recognizing the need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
