More than True and False

The latest educational import is WordWall’s WordPad2, an English response system that not only has yes or no as potential answers, but a full keyboard and central display that can show 160 by 128 pixel color images. With this hardware in their hands, students can answer with words, phrases and numbers. The handsets communicate wirelessly with the teacher’s computer, which tabulates and displays the results. A set of 32 devices costs $3,000 and the company includes several in-class activities.
