SENTEO
The Senteo interactive response system is an assessment tool designed to enhance learning. It
facilitates summative and formative assessment by allowing you to pose a question before, during
or after a lesson to find out if students are on track. You can use the feedback to help shape the
rest of your lesson.
Once you’ve finished the lesson, you can create a question set with Senteo assessment software
to evaluate learning more formally. You can feel confident that the students have answered the
way they intended because they can verify and change their self-paced responses directly on the
remote.
You can easily add creativity to questions by combining text with images to make questions more
dynamic. Senteo software comes with Notebook™ collaborative learning software and offers
6,000 learning objects that can be easily added to quizzes. You can write and edit notes in digital
ink, import or export Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentations, and incorporate multimedia content.
The Senteo interactive response system increases one-to-one interaction by allowing you to
survey and engage students and collect responses. You can use student feedback to plan lessons
and personalize the learning environment.
LET'S GET STARTED!
STEP 1
Install the software! There is a installation CD in each Senteo bag. The software can also be downloaded from HERE.
During the installation process, you will be asked to name your classroom. Most people use their last name. You will have a chance to define your actual classes (1st period, 2nd period, etc.) later.
STEP 2
Plug in the receiver. Your computer will recognize there is new hardware. After installing the receiver, the "ready light" turns red, indicating that it is receiving power. The light will turn green as soon as there is two-way communication between the receiver and the software.
STEP 3
Familiarize yourself with the clickers before giving them to students. The first time that you use the Senteo system with your students, you may want to utilize the clicker simulator. Click the Senteo icon and choose "Clicker Simulator" to demonstrate use to students.
STEP 4
Set up your class lists. Detailed instructions can be found HERE. You can also watch a two-minute tutorial on this same process HERE.
PLEASE USE THE LAST 5 DIGITS OF YOUR STUDENTS' ID NUMBER AS THEIR PASSWORD. THIS WILL KEEP IT CONSISTENT FROM CLASS TO CLASS.
If you choose to export each class list using Excel, use this template.

There are so many things you can do with Senteo. And having Notebook content available allows you to add graphics, audio, video, etc. to your questions.
STEP 7
