We have been using Turning Point with radio frequency receivers for several years and have been very satisfied with the performance of the product. We purchased one set of "clickers" and one receiver for each building to share. Students from grades 1
to 12 have used them successfully, often for pre-testing to help students gauge their preparedness for a test, or during a lesson to help teachers assess the students' understanding. Turning Point is a PowerPoint add-on, an advantage because it does not
require the faculty to master a whole new software interface, unless they are not yet familiar with PowerPoint. It is also possible to take existing PowerPoint presentations and add interactive Turning Point question slides. Their over-the-phone
technical support is high quality as well.
