2 sets available

What:  A table stand with sets of response decks used to encourage student responses in class using faculty-preselected response cards.

How to use: 

Step 1- Stands and decks chosen for the class are placed on the students’ desks.

Step 2 - Students discuss appropriate responses, and when the students have selected an answer, the student/team indicates by “clipping” the clothespin to the ring on the top of the stand. (This step helps decrease the likelihood that students will choose a response based on what others around them are selecting and showing).

Step 3 - Once all students have indicated they have arrived at an answer, the instructor will signify it is time to post their selection. All students/groups simultaneously show their responses, and the instructor processes the answers as a discussion or moves to the next question.
