If you thought second graders were too young to use Turning Point clickers, think again! Second grade classes at Elda and Morgan are using the clickers for their district assessments. Turning Point slides were created for all of the multiple choice questions for the Science and Social Studies assessments. We started the project at Elda with Dave Williams and Mandy Brosier's classes. The students loved it and did a great job! It was so easy! They picked up with the paper/pencil versions for the fill in and short answer questions after they 'voted' in all of the multiple choice answers.
The project will pick back up again next week at Morgan. All second grade classes will be using Turning Point for assessments. The idea is to pilot the clickers for district assessments this year with a few classes to see how it works. If all goes well (so far it is) we can use clickers for more assessments and grade levels in the future. Just think about all the paper and money we could save by using the clickers for multiple choice questions. If we only have to print the short answer and fill in questions we will save whole forests! Well, it might take a few years to save a forest but why not dream big?
