Activote in the Classroom

Our Activote pupil response system has become an essential part of a fully interactive classroom. This course has been created to help if you have just acquired a system, and want to learn how to make the most of your Activotes. For example, learn how to use the voting device spontaneously to gain instant opinions from students... or to generate class discussions... and, of course, obtain instant, reliable feedback on how well your students have understood a topic.
