Questions:• Do not hesitate to ask questions
along the way! I love questions and there is no such thing as a dumb or bad question (unless it’s the one you don’t ask).
“That was easy!”
![Page 3: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is TurningPoint? • Software in conjunction with the
student response cards create a wireless audience response and voting system
• Enables real-time assessments of student participation within Microsoft PowerPoint
![Page 4: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How does all of this work?
The TurningPoint system consists of two (2) parts:– Software– Hardware
![Page 5: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Software• The TurningPoint software allows
the teacher the ability to create and manage material and/or questions desired to present to students in order to determine their knowledge based on a desired subject.
![Page 6: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Hardware• The hardware consists of a student
response kit which includes: 32 student response devices and a USB RF (radio frequency) receiver. The receiver is plugged into the laptop to activate a wireless system allowing each response device to “talk” to the laptop sending the information to the software program.
![Page 7: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What am I going to use this for?
• Collect statistics for general classroom information
• Collect individual student progress• Administer tests and quizzes • Assessing the learning process• Assessing the teaching process• View curriculum standards
![Page 8: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How can I use this effectively?
• Pre-unit surveys – What do your students already know?
• Checkpoint quizzes – Are your students understanding the concepts your are teaching?
• Post-unit quizzes – Have your students mastered the skills and information of the unit?
• Competitions• Skills practice as a game• Opinion surveys – What is the class view on a topic or
question?• Fastest Responder – a great motivational tool and
effective way to engage students
![Page 9: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What are the end results of using this
technology?• Students are engaged!• Provides instant feedback to students
and teachers• Inspires competition and teamwork• Interprets data into measurable results,
such as scores, charts, graphs• Helps make learning interesting,
focused and fun!
![Page 10: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What does a TurningPoint kit look like?
Each kit comes with:
•A black carrying case
•“32” student response devices
•A USB RF (radio frequency) receiver
•And, software (version 2008).
![Page 11: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How many kits are at my school?
• The standard has been:– 13 kits per middle school. – One kit for every five classrooms –
elementary and high
Note: Some schools have elected to purchase additional kits. However, the county purchased based on the standard above.
![Page 12: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Time to get started…..• We are going to learn the four (4)
basic steps to creating a successful TurningPoint presentation.
![Page 13: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Step One• Set-up
– Take the USB receiver out of the TurningPoint kit and plug into the laptop
– From the desktop, find the “TurningPoint” icon and double click to open
Stop! Hands-On exercise coming up….
![Page 14: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The USB RF receiver is a “key” component. If the USB receiver is “not” plugged into the laptop prior to opening the TurningPoint software, the student response devices will not work.
Once the software has been launched, identify the TurningPoint toolbar. TurningPoint is simply a PowerPoint plug-in and the only difference you will note in appearance is an extra toolbar.
The toolbar can be identified by the TurningPoint icon to the far left.
![Page 15: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Hands-OnHands-On• Remove the RF receiver from your kit
and plug it into a USB port on your laptop.
• Launch the TurningPoint software• Locate the TurningPoint toolbar• STOP!
![Page 16: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Step Two• Create Presentation Slides
– From the TurningPoint toolbar click on “Insert Slide”
Just follow along – there is a hands-on exercise coming up!
![Page 17: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
By clicking on the drop-down tab, a menu of various slides are offered.
If you wish to create a presentation that consists of only questions and answers but wish to graph those answers, choose a graph slide.Or, for simple yes/no or true/false questions, choose from the menu selection here.
You can even choose the “generic slides” option that will allow you to create a question with multiple answers.
![Page 18: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hands-OnHands-OnFrom the TurningPoint toolbar, locate the “Insert
Slide” optionFrom the drop-down menu, select a “True/False” slideCreate a question
When finished, insert another slide, but this time insert a generic slide with “three” answers
Create a questionInsert your answers
STOP!
![Page 19: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Step three• Creating a participant list allows the teacher to collect
student specific information (i.e., administering a test). Both the teacher and the student can have immediate feed-back.
• There are three different types of participant lists:– Anonymous – simply just that….there is no way to track a
student’s response (i.e., “How many prefer lunch at 11:30?”)
– Auto – data can be collected via the device ID only. – Created Participant List – this is a participant list that a
teacher can create using the students from each individual class (example: princeblock1; princeone, princetwo, etc.)
Follow along as I create a participant list……
![Page 20: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Creating your very own participant list!
From the TurningPoint toolbar, find the tab marked “Participants”. There is a drop-down box that will allow you a menu choice of obtaining a participant list.
To create your own, choose the “Participant List Wizard”
![Page 21: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Next, choose the “custom template” option
Then click
“next”
![Page 22: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You will be prompted to enter a name for this “template” (the default will enter a date and time stamp unless you rename your template). Remember, a template is something that serves as a master or pattern from which other similar things can be made. You can reuse this template for similar classes.
Some examples might look like:
T. Prince Template
English Classes
Math Classes
History Class, etc
![Page 23: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There are many fields you can add to make up your custom participant list. However, it is recommended that you keep it simple for starters. Last name and first name are great starters for your custom template.
To choose the fields you wish to incorporate into your custom participant list – click on a specific field from the box on the left “Available Fields”. Next, click on the arrow to move it over to the box titled, “Selected Fields”. When finished, click “next”.
Hint: You can also double click on an available field to move it to the “Selected Field” box.
![Page 24: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Adding a group to your participant list is optional. This is a great tool for tracking certain information such as: gender, race, NCLB, free/reduced lunches, etc...). But we are going to leave this blank and just click “Next”.
![Page 25: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Now, we are prompted to name our participant list. Remember, we originally created and named a template (the master copy containing all of the information we want to use in future participant lists). Here we are going to name our actual participant list.
Click “Finish”
![Page 26: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Finally, we are going to add our Device IDs, Student Last Names and First Names. When we have entered this information, we will click “Done”.
![Page 27: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Step 1:
Open one Excel spreadsheet
Step 2:
On page one of the Excel spreadsheet, type in the device IDs
Step 3:
On page two of the Excel spreadsheet, type in column A, student’s last name and in column B, the student’s first name.
Step 4:
Name page one according to the kit # labeled on the outside of the TurningPoint kit (i.e., kit 1, kit 1, kit 3, etc.)
Step 5:
Name page two according to class period (i.e., Period 1, Period 2, etc.)
Step 6:
Save document as “TurningPoint Kit Set-Up”
This should be done prior to creating your participant list…
![Page 28: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Device ID? Huh? Each student response clicker has a unique device ID.
For this particular clicker, the Device ID is: 087E41
![Page 29: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Hands-OnHands-On• Create a participant list using the device
IDs from four of your clickers.• Input the following students:
– Roger Rabbit– Elmer Fudd– Minnie Mouse– Petunia Pig
Stop!
![Page 30: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Step Four“Bells & Whistles”
This is where we learn how to dress up our interactive slides with things like setting the correct answer, correct
answer indicators, timers, etc. Believe it or not, these little things
that we add to dress up our slides are the very things students find fun and
engaging!
![Page 31: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Setting a Correct Answer
• Once our slide is created, we want to set the correct answer. – Step 1: Highlight the correct answer from our answer list– Step 2: Right click and click on “set as correct”.
It’s that easy!!
By setting a correct answer value, you can show the correct answer after each polling. This is just another way for students to have that instant feedback.
![Page 32: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Hands onHands on• Create a generic slide with three
answers.• Set the correct answer• Stop!
![Page 33: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Correct Answer Indicator
A Correct Answer Indicator gives a visual cue to the audience to indicate the correct
answer after polling for a question is finished. A Correct Answer Indicator appears during a presentation when you advance the
slide after displaying the chart.
![Page 34: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When setting an answer as the “correct answer” and while the answer is still
highlighted, from the TurningPoint toolbar, click on “Insert Object”.
STEP 1: From the TurningPoint toolbar, click on the “Insert Object” Tab.
STEP 2: Click on “Correct Answer Indicator”
Step 3: Choose your correct answer indicator
![Page 35: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Hands-OnHands-On• From the last slide created, set a
correct answer indicator.• Stop!
![Page 36: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Countdown• A Countdown Indicator gives the audience a
visual cue that polling for a question is about to close. The Countdown Indicator shows the number of seconds remaining and counts down to zero. A countdown can have a maximum length of 999 seconds. The indicator appears during a presentation when you advance the slide during polling. When the countdown expires, the Countdown Indicator disappears and polling is automatically closed.
![Page 37: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Reset• You can use the same presentation to create a
new set of responses. The Reset menu on the TurningPoint toolbar gives you the option of deleting the results in order to redo a session or present a new session. You also have the option to redo only one question slide in a session.
• Note - you cannot undo the Reset function, so be certain that you wish to delete the results.
• Reset before each session and after any changes are made to the presentation.
• This is as important as having the RF receiver plugged in prior to launching the software!
![Page 38: TurningPoint Student Response System (SRS) The How, What & Why of TurningPoint](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649ebd5503460f94bc621a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
