Today we spent some time looking at interactive voting systems, taking into consideration the views, comments and experiences of others. I am of the opinion that it might be better to hold off for a little while, at least until the myriad of teething problems are sorted out. I am also looking forward to the day this technology better integrates with mobile phones.

I agree with you. I think it will be about 12 months before we see an improved voting system with text based technology.

I also agree. I have mixed views about the voting systems. Whenever I have seen someone present a voting system (often to try and sell it) I am very impressed. But whenever I have had the opportunity to get some hands-on experience I end up feeling frustrated. I think it won’t be too long before we see a better integration with mobile technology.
I enjoyed watching the groups presentation on Thursday that demonstrated that voting systems can not only be used for quizzes but also to teach a new concept or reinforce a piece of learning (ba)!

Over here in the Highlands, we have had bought for us (notice I did not say we bought) an Interactive Voting System, but no “ready made” PP’s or quizes for Physics. These cost an extra £245.
No time at present to make some up, so the suitcase of handsets goes back in the cupboard.
