Student use of TurningPoint voting systems

Recently 2 students approached the e-Learning department and asked to use the TurningPoint voting devices. I asked them to put together a quick overview of what they had done and why and their email is quoted below
Our objective was to produce a presentation about assessment and record keeping. We wanted to highlight to the group that there are many ways of assessment and that there are different that ways of assessing that we were taught to do in the first and second year in our block school placements. I remembered that during my placement the class teacher used the SMART response as a form of formative assessment that the children could take part in.

We used the turning point to illustrate the way in which we could involve children in their assessment process while involving the group in the presentation by asking them to ask questions around assessment.
This allowed us to demonstrate the effectiveness of using turning point for assessment as well as the contexts where these can be used.
