How do you know if you’ve got everybody’s attention?

Usually you don’t, but by giving everyone in the room their own audience response handset and asking them to press a button to answer a question, you’re guaranteed 100% involvement.

Activote for PowerPoint ® is Promethean's audience response system that integrates with Microsoft PowerPoint ®. Presenters, teachers or trainers can deliver sessions using PowerPoint ® in the usual way, in addition they can ask questions and gather responses when needed. Responses from up to 500 individuals can be received almost instantly – even from great  distances – and shared on screen if desired.

This means that Activote for PowerPoint ® can be used in a number of ways: at the start of a session to break the ice, or to gauge how much your audience knows.

Later on use it to build rapport, facilitate discussion or assess understanding. Maybe even to obtain feedback and evaluation on a session. Or simply to add fun to the driest of subjects.
