Welcome!
Welcome to TurningPoint - the language of Assessment for
Learning. TurningPoint is a brilliant Assessment for Learning
tool that sits as a toolbar within Microsoft® PowerPoint. Better
than a voting system, it gives teachers instant reports to
assess and analyse their pupils’ performance during and after
the lesson, helping to create an environment of individualised
and personalised learning.
TurningPoint is a brilliant Assessment for Learning tool
that allows every child to be heard, so that his or her
individual learning needs can be assessed and addressed, loud
and clear. TurningPoint is better than a voting system in that
it lightens the load of assessment by providing real-time,
ready-to-use reports which can be used on the spot to amend
lessons as you go. It enables teachers to practice personalised
learning and potentially improves learning outcomes for every
individual pupil in the class.
How Does TurningPoint Work?
TurningPoint works amazingly well in schools, through all Key
Stages. Included with the kits are thousands of mental starter
and plenary activities to get you started, while creating your
own is as easy as using Microsoft® PowerPoint®.
TurningPoint demographics help you track group performance,
while the participant monitor allows you to have real time
access to pupil performance during a lesson.
TurningPoint is extremely flexible, and allows you to add new
slides and questions on the fly to supplement your original
lesson plan, and TurningPoint reports can be generated with a
simple click of the mouse, so Assessment for Learning is a
doddle!
Scalable and Flexible
TurningPoint opens up a whole range of possibilities
in the classroom and beyond. Using RF handsets you can
create a scalable system that can be bolted together
with other sets inside or outside of your school.
This flexibility means TurningPoint can be used by
hundreds or up to 83,000 people at the same time, making
it perfect for conferences and large scale events in
your school! Just imagine the new Wembley Stadium full
of school children with their answers showing on a giant
screen.
