Using SMART Response Clickers SMART Response (formerly called Senteos) is an interactive system (nicknamed “clickers”) designed to enhance learning. They can be used for formal assessment, after setting up a class list. They can also be used informally, gathering answers in an anonymous mode. Questions can be displayed and answered from any display source; a SMART Board is not required to use the capabilities of the system.

Using SMART Response Clickers Once the SMART Response software is loaded onto your computer, the receiver is plugged into an open USB port. It takes about a minute for the receiver to become operational. When you see one solid green light and one blinking green light, you are ready to receive Response clicker transmissions.

Using SMART Response Clickers Students can then turn on their clickers. Each device transmits answers to the teacher’s computer. You can ask an oral question, give a written question, or display a question on a SMART board. Information can be gathered after each question, or after the completion of the quiz/test by all students. Re-teaching and review can occur immediately, if needed.
