The H-ITT System
The H-ITT system is software that can be used in the classroom by students to answer multiple choice questions asked by the teacher. How it works is students have a “clicker” that has 10 buttons on it the student can choose the answer he or she thinks is correct and clicks that button. Not only can the student answer the question but he can also use the bottom three buttons to say how sure of the answer he is. The H-ITT’s base receiver can be hooked up to a PC that is running the program. After the data is collected from the class, the program creates a histogram for the teacher. The student knows if their answer has been received when the light on the button turns green.
There are two different systems available. The H-ITT CRS lets teachers report and grade any “verbal questions, display questions, or even give paper based tests.” When the student replies their answer is automatically graded and then recorded. Teachers can even set their own preferences to how they want the answer graded, for example if the question was weighted. It is also very easy for teachers to transfer the grades into excel or blackboard.
The second system available is H-ITTShow. This system allows teachers to “create, present, assess, grade and report in PowerPoint.” This system works best with group activities, but can also be used by individual students. It even includes already created slides and clips you can add into your own lesson.
