Teaching+of+Senteo+to+staff+member

I chose to model how Senteo can be used in the classroom and show a fellow staff member how to set it up. 1. I demonstrated how to create a class name and then how to add students to the class periods and save them into a folder. 2. Explained how to create questions and answers for her quiz and save them into the folder with class lists. 3. Showed her how to connect the Senteo clickers to the computer. 4. Practiced logging in and taking the quiz 5. Looked at the scores and showed her how to look at individual scores and answers. 6. FInally I showed her how to export her results into excel and save in the folder.

Reflection: I thought this was fun experience. I was going by memory as to the steps to create and use the Senteo program/clickers-no hand out was given at workshop and directions with clickers are too much (easier for me to try and try again to get it right). This process to create and use is simple it is just having the time for teachers to create the quizzes/questions. Also getting a hand out or having a hand-out on the web (besides the instructions that come with Senteo) to reference would be great not only for us that took the class but for those that are wanting to give Senteo a try in their classrooms. This falls into the 21st century skills as an application for increasing strong academic, thinking and reasoning skills also it is just one of many steps in moving the students to be proficient in Technology. Senteo instantly shows the students their score and correct/incorrect answers which gives the students the opportunity to understand their mistakes. Modeling this skill for my peers has been great. I realize that I have to slow down when instructing as not everyone is as tech-savy and moves at a different pace which in turn has made me think about teaching to my students and taking into account that not everyone will catch the skill as quickly and will need to allow more time when introducing a new skill.
