In order to assign clickers to individual students the user must first create a participant list

To create a participant list:

• Enter the TurningPoint 2008 tab and click on the Participants option
• Scroll down to Participant List Wizard to begin

• Select the Educational Template and click Next
• Add any information fields necessary for the testing you are using and click Next
• Use the Add Groups section of the wizard to create groups within your participant list to allow for team answering or certain types of demographic statistics. Click Next when complete.
• Lastly, create a name for your Participant List. Click Finish to begin entering clicker and participant information.

The most important field on the Participant List is the Device ID field. In order to assign certain students to particular clickers, you must enter the correct Device ID for the clicker that the individual student is using. The Device ID is located on the back of each clicker and is a 6-character code that begins with a zero. Enter the Device ID in the proper field and also enter any other information required for each student.

When you complete your Participant List and are ready to begin your session, you must first do the following:

• Reset your session by clicking on the TurningPoint 2008 tab and selecting Reset

• Select your Participant list on the side menu and click Use Selected List

• Run your slide show, opening and closing polls appropriately, allowing the students to answer each question
• To observe individual results for each student, under the TurningPoint 2008 tab select Tools>Turning Reports
• Next, select the Reports tab and check off the Participant Results Reports box
• Then click Generate Reports - this will open an Excel sheet that grades each individual student’s answers
