D. takes a makeup math test using our class "Echo" pen. The pen reads the questions and directions to D. when he touches it to the special stickers on the test. Interwrite PRS clickers are exciting to use when we review for tests, and Mrs. Whatley can use the MobiView to see exactly who gets it right and who needs more reteaching.

These technology pieces allow 4 (actually up to 9, but I only have 4 slates) students to work at the same time from anywhere in the classroom while the problems are visible to everyone.
