36 | CHAPTER 5 – CONNECTING AND DISCONNECTING THE CLICKERS
Monitoring the Clickers
You can use Teacher Tools to check each clicker’s status. You can see if a clicker is
logged on or if it’s in Anonymous mode. You can also see the clickers’ serial numbers
(MAC addresses), and identify which students are logged on.
The clicker displays the signal strength, as measured by the receiver. If the signal
level is low for one or more clickers, and they’re having communication problems, you
may want to reposition the receiver or remove signal path obstructions.
To check the clickers 1. Start a class and have your students connect their clickers.
The Transmit light flashes green, and the Ready light is solid green.
2. Click the SMART Response icon in the notification area, or Mac menu bar, and
then click the icon below the Configure Hardware heading.
3. Click...switch to Gradebook view, if you aren’t already in Gradebook view.
NOTE
If you want Teacher Tools to open to the Gradebook view each time you start
Teacher Tools, select the Start here when you start Teacher Tools option
in the window’s bottom-left corner.
4. Click Devices in the left column.
The Devices window appears and displays a “Your SMART Response receiver is
connected and working” message. The receiver name appears below the
Devices button.
5. Click My Receiver, and then click the Clickers tab at the top of the window.
The Clickers window appears and displays a table of all connected clickers. Each
row of the table shows one clicker’s signal strength, battery condition, student
name and hardware ID (MAC address).
NOTE
If students’ clickers are connected anonymously, the Student Name field
displays Anonymous.
