Founded in 1912, Qiyang No. 1 High School is one of the first key high schools and model high schools in Hunan Province, with a history of over a hundred years and a rich cultural heritage. It is also a national experimental school for modern educational technology. To actively promote the construction of smart classrooms, Qiyang No. 1 High School has recently innovatively introduced a batch of SunVote classroom response systems, hoping to leverage modern technological means to further enhance teaching quality and provide a more convenient and efficient teaching platform for teachers and students.
In-Class Questions, Instant Evaluation
Entering the classrooms of Qiyang No. 1 High School, each student has a compact classroom response clicker on their desk. This seemingly small device actually contains powerful features. During class, teachers use the SunVote classroom response system to initiate questions, and students easily respond using the response clickers. In less than a minute, the answers from dozens of students are automatically collected and statistically displayed on a large screen in real-time. Teachers can immediately understand the distribution of each option and whether individual students answered correctly or incorrectly, making it easier for them to assess the overall knowledge mastery of the class and scientifically evaluate teaching effectiveness, allowing for timely adjustments to the teaching pace. At the same time, students can instantly know how they performed, enabling them to correct mistakes and reinforce their learning.
“Previously, it was difficult to grasp the learning situation of the entire class in a short time,” remarked a math teacher. “Now, with the response clickers, I can immediately see which knowledge points students are struggling with and which students need additional tutoring, significantly improving teaching efficiency.”
Enhanced Interaction, Full Participation
In traditional classrooms, opportunities for interaction between teachers and students are relatively limited due to time constraints. However, the introduction of classroom response clickers has completely changed this situation, greatly enhancing classroom interactivity. Whenever the teacher poses a question, students quickly press their response devices, creating an atmosphere that is both tense and exciting, making learning lively and interesting. Students are no longer passive listeners; they actively participate as “responders.” Through competitions, quick responses, and random draws, their interest in learning is effectively stimulated, while teamwork and competitive spirit are also cultivated. In such a classroom environment, students are more willing to explore new knowledge and express themselves, allowing their potential to be fully showcased and unleashed.
“I love this feeling of instant feedback,” one student exclaimed. “It lets me know what I’m doing well and where I need to improve, and answering questions together as a class is really fun.”
Instant Feedback, More Precise Teaching
The charm of classroom response clickers lies in data collection and analysis. Especially in classroom quizzes and exercises, teachers can easily create tests, and the response clickers automatically correct objective questions and tally scores, providing instant results. This significantly reduces the grading burden on teachers and improves grading efficiency. With the help of the response clickers, teachers can quickly obtain students' answer data and multidimensional learning reports, helping them conduct quantitative assessments and precise diagnostics in their research and decision-making processes, thus achieving targeted and personalized teaching.
“Every student is unique,” emphasized an English teacher. “The data collected through the response clickers allows us to more accurately understand students' learning progress and challenges, enabling us to tailor learning plans to them and truly achieve personalized teaching.”
The response clickers used by Qiyang No. 1 High School were donated and installed by SunVote, aiming to further enhance the school’s teaching quality and create a more convenient and efficient teaching environment for all faculty and students. By utilizing SunVote response clickers, all students in the classroom can simultaneously engage in interactive experiences of listening, speaking, and practicing, while SunVote classroom response system provides real-time feedback on multidimensional learning data. This way, teachers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of students' learning situations and pay attention to each student’s thought processes and answers, thus achieving precise teaching and targeted tutoring.
Looking ahead, Qiyang No. 1 High School will continue to explore the infinite possibilities of smart education, constantly introducing new technologies and teaching models to provide students with a richer and more diverse learning experience.
