The voting systems are worth persevering with. We use Qwizdoms which work through Powerpoint. Initially they were bought for the information provided in the mark sheets on Excel, but the children's response is terrific, when they come into a class and see the Qwizdom bag out - they are really enthused. Another plus is the way that they require precision from the children, when the 'change answer' option is switched off,children have to check what is on their screen is what they want to send. The systems with text input give a much greater range for testing what children have learnt. They are also good for start and end of unit testing, to see what has been learnt. Finally, no marking at the end of a test, its all on the computer!
