The Smart Response LE is a great product to use with younger students or special education students. Smart Response is a technology that works with handheld remotes or clickers, a receiver, and SMART Board interactive whiteboards. It is designed to be easy to use for young students with colorful shaped buttons. The Smart Response clicker control is larger than the average clicker size so it can be easy manipulated for primary aged children. The big buttons on the remote ensure students who struggle with fine motor skills can stay involved. Students can answer questions using the clickers or remotes with pictures which is great for children who may or may not be able to read. Teachers are able to find out how much their students know and adjust their teaching. The students also get instant feedback by enabling them to see if the majority of the answers are correct. This technology keeps the students more engaged in the topic. It also summarizes the results in a pie chart or bar graph. There are a lot of different free instructional activities that can be found on internet sites that provide teachers with visually animated programs for young children in all the different content areas.
