The latest version of the NetSupport School Student app for iOS delivers improved performance and operability; iOS8 support; and support for another of the product's key teaching best practice tools, Q&A module :
QUESTION AND ANSWER (Q&A) MODULE
The Q&A Module is an exclusive collaborative tool that enables teachers to reinforce key learning points and instantly gauge student understanding during a lesson.
Built around current teaching practices for the continual assessment of learning, it allows a teacher to verbally ask questions to the class, gauge student answers and understanding, introduce new questioning styles to the lesson (such as basketball questioning), and develop peer assessment opportunities - as well as track rewards against both the individual and, where appropriate, teams.
The module provides the following options:
First to Answer
When the question has been asked, the teacher can set a 'thinking time' after which students indicate if they know the answer, with the teacher's desktop showing the order in which they answered. The teacher can choose the 'top x' fastest responders and the quickest student is asked for their answer. The teacher confirms if it is right or wrong and then has the option to bounce the question to subsequent students. Points can be awarded or deducted.
Enter an Answer
The teacher enters the answer to a question in advance and students are prompted for their responses'. Results are instantly displayed to the class and points awarded or deducted.
Pot Luck
An alternative to First to Answer, the teacher can involve a number of randomly selected students.
Team Mode
Students can be placed in teams allowing them to compete for rewards as a group. Teams can be created randomly or students can pick a team to join. Each team member enters their answer and the group's combined total is displayed.
Peer Assessment
This encourages students to give feedback in response to an answer given by one of their classmates. They indicate if the answer given was correct or incorrect and the teacher's screen displays the results.
