Case Study: Virginia Western Community College helps students prepare for state math tests with Qwizdom clickers

High School Math Department Uses Classroom Clickers to Prepare for State Tests

Virginia Western Community College math instructor Lori Bolz Johnson used Qwizdom clickers to help prepare high school students for state Standards of Learning tests. She needed a way to review material with students, support teachers who needed extra classroom help, and keep students engaged throughout the school year.

With Qwizdom student response systems and game-based activities like Fast Track and Mission to Mars, she reviewed content all year, refreshed earlier lessons midyear, and prepared students for end-of-year tests. The solution helped her identify who understood each topic and who needed reteaching, while also boosting participation from shy students; as a result, the class stayed motivated and the math department was eager to keep using Qwizdom the following year.
