redball EduCue
PRS, which stands for Personal Response System, is educational technology for active learning in the classroom. It literally means Privately Responding or Selecting. The Personal Response System (PRS) allows your students to "vote" on multiple choice questions that you present, and then projects a computer screen with a chart of the results as soon as the voting is complete. Students register their votes with a small "sender" that looks like a TV remote control. Voting can be anonymous, to ask sensitive questions or to poll the class to see if they understand a concept, or each vote can be associated with an individual student, allowing teachers to track an individual's progress. With quizzes, students' responses are captured in a spreadsheet for grading, but the correct answer can be reviewed with the class as soon as all votes are in. http://www.educue.com/
