The Clicker People



We are thrilled that schools will now be able to use Study Island with CPS (Classroom Performance Systems) through eInstruction. Many of us know them as the clicker people!

Students will be able to use their clickers as a study mode within Study Island. Students' results will be saved into the Study Island system for reporting in the same way that data is saved when students are logged into the program. Students are each assigned a clicker and teachers can either pull up the question through a projector in front of the room, or students can use the clickers to answer questions on a printable worksheet. Even when using the printable worksheet, if students are using the clickers to answer the Study Island questions, the program scores them and their data is saved.

If your school has a set of CPS clickers, but limited lab availability, this is a great way to gauge student proficiency on a topic without even leaving your classroom!
