Quizdom Remote Audience Response System is Cool
When I first came across an ad for Quizdom products I was very intrigued. This system is great for getting instant feedback regarding just about anything. But the possibilities extend way beyond classroom polling. Quizdom is great for pinpointing students that may need additional help, and it can help us as teachers know when we need to review concepts long before the final test or even the pop quiz. We can now see the effectiveness of our instruction in real time and adjust and revise to ensure that students are learning key concepts.
The set up of the system is simple and we can easily move it from classroom to classroom, which will likely be necessary, as the $4000 price tag is typically more than what we can implement in individual classrooms; however is still reasonable for a school purchase.
I was a little disappointed to find the site store was unavailable and some of the links were broken, yet by clicking on the site map at the bottom of the page I was able to find the information I needed. They said that the store should be up soon, but they offer a phone number to contact sales for immediate help.

I am looking into purchasing a Quizdom set for my classroom. What have you been using it for?
Thanks

As i am a resource teacher it is impractical to implement this program on that level, but when I did the demo I used it as a game. I would pose question, and look for the quickest response. Using it as a classroom monitoring system would be very valuable if I were trying to manage more than a few students. It is a very powerful tool and there are many possibilities. Sorry I cant be of more help.
