Educator’s of any grade level now have the technology to keep students more alert and active in the classroom.This magic wand comes in the form of a wireless remote looking device known as Beyond Question. Pressing any button allows the student to instantly communicate with the teacher’s computer. With this device each student can simutanlsly answer multiple choice, true-false,yes-no and survey style questions. Once the students have answered the results can be displayed for both the teacher and students to see. The techer will then have a better idea on whether or not the information should be reviewed. Student’s confidence is raised with correct answers and mistakes can quickly be corrected. Beyond Question can also be used to create a rooster, develop lesson plans, presentations among other functions. The price ranges from $995.00 for the base package (classroom of twenty) to $3595.00 for the large lecture set (100 student remotes. Personally I think the price is reasonable and worth the interactivity it provides to the students.
