Transparency Layer & Response software

One of the best things about the new transparency layer in notebook is the ability to quickly create assessments for your Response clickers. There are several web sites that offer multiple choice questions that work seamlessly with your curriculum. When you have the site open, and are in notebook software you can overlay the question options (A, B, C, D etc.) onto the website. Simply go to the response tab and click on "add a question." Click through the question and answer choices and you will just have the letters in your working area. Be sure to select the correct choice. Click on the transparency layer icon on the toolbar and your letters can be seen on top of the website. Move the letters into the appropriate place. You now have an instant question that didn't need to be typed into notebook. This can also be done quickly and easily by taking a screen capture of the website and entering the correct choice into the software.

Formative on-going assessment is necessary for data driven instruction, and SMART notebook and response software makes it easy. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
