This chapter will give information on What is the difference between CPS and CPS for PowerPoint? What are the best practices for using CPS for PowerPoint? CPS and CPS for PowerPoint Instructors who rarely use PowerPoint may prefer no more than the standard CPS application which is available (along with CPS for PowerPoint) on the einstruction site at CPS for PowerPoint and regular CPS are designed to best be used separately. Anything created in CPS for PPT can best be engaged through CPS for PPT, and anything created in regular CPS can best be engaged through regular CPS. The questions created in "CPS for PowerPoint" aren't meant to be imported and engaged within the traditional CPS Database. That database is already open when you use CPS for PowerPoint, so when you present the PowerPoint slides from "CPS for PowerPoint", the database collects the responses. CPS for PowerPoint is recommended for use when: o Your teaching style often includes the use of Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 o You want to teach a session/class using Microsoft PowerPoint 2003 or 2007 and you will benefit from the full integration offered in CPS for PowerPoint.

41 Index Glossary A Add-in In software a computer software program that adds a feature to another application. The CPS for PowerPoint add-in adds the PowerPoint dynamic integration feature to the standard CPS software. Anonymous Mode This mode allows you to, in Standard mode or Student Paced mode, record a class assessment without recording individual students responses. Assessment - An assessment is any sort of measure of the students' learning. Examples of assessments include tests, quizzes, homework, and class work. C Challenge Board A points-based game for your students that allows them to answer questions of varying difficulty. Child-level lesson - A child-level lesson is a sublevel lesson. Example: if you teach a lesson on Grammar, the parent-level lesson could be Grammar, and you could have two child-level lessons called Punctuation and Spelling. Child-level standard - A child standard is a standard associated with a parent (or main) standard. For example, your parent standard might be 4th Grade Reading, and your child standard could be Word Comprehension list. Class - A class is the list of your students, including information such as name, student ID, gender, ethnicity, and pad ID number. Class side - The left window of the Prepare>Classes and Students tab. This window lists all classes open for a particular database. CPS Response System - The CPS response system enables students to provide electronic feedback to questions in the classroom. This consists of IR or RF pads, a receiver unit, and the CPS software. D Database - A database is a collection of files (assessments, classes, grades, and lessons) stored in CPS. You can have more than one database in CPS. Delivery Options - An option in CPS that you access from the Settings menu. Delivery Options allows you to customize delivery modes, adjust your receiver settings, adjust the Feedback Grid, and make changes to the There It Is! feature from the Team Activities section. Delivery session - A delivery session includes your lesson, in any format and mode, and the students' responses. CPS gathers the information from the student pads and compiles them into an assessment. You can view assessment results from the Report section. Download - Think of download as loading files from the Internet (up there) down to your computer (down here). E Engage - The process of delivering a lesson from CPS. Export - When you export a file, you send it from your computer to another program or computer. F FastGrade - Use the FastGrade feature as a supplement to worksheets and other hardcopies. You can create a FastGrade answer key, distribute hardcopies to the students, and have them respond for a quick grade. File - A file is one document, graphic, or presentation stored within a database. You can have thousands of files within one database. File extension - A file extension is the ending mark on a file name that tells the computer what type of file it is. This is especially important when importing or exporting files from one database to another or from one program to another. Folder - A folder stores files. Folders are a great way to organize all of your files within a database.

42 Index I IR IR stands for infra-red which is a part of the invisible spectrum that is contiguous to the red end of the visible spectrum. CPS IR response pads can send infra-red signals to CPS IR receivers when a line of sight exists between the response pad and the receiver. Import - When you import a file, you take it from another program or computer and put it in your computer or program. Integration Combining into a whole, blending, fusing.

Parent-level standard - A parent-level standard is the main standard level. You can also have sublevels called child-level standards. Example: You have a standard called 7th Grade Reading and two child-level standards called Comprehension and Word Recognition. Performance data - Performance data is student feedback collected from the CPS response system. This feedback is compiled in the Report>Reports tab and listed in the Report>Gradebook tab of CPS for you to view.

Q Question side - The right window of the Prepare>Lessons and Assessments tab, Engage>Lessons and Assessments tab or Engage>Standards tab. This window lists all of the questions from any highlighted lesson or standard name. R Receiver - The CPS IR receiver is a "UFO" object that accepts infra red (IR) waves from students' response pads and transfers the information to CPS. The CPS RF receiver is a small, square object that accepts radio frequency (RF) waves from response pads then transfers the information to CPS. Reporting System - The CPS Reporting System lets you access, view, and print performance data recorded during instructional sessions. Reports - Reports are CPS-generated data from your sessions. You can view the data in many different forms from the Reports section. Response cycle - The response cycle is the duration of time that students may respond with their pads. The cycle begins when you click the Start button on the Feedback Grid and ends when you click the End button.

43 Index Response pad - The response pad is the device that looks like a remote control. When students press a button on the response pad, the answer is sent by radio frequency (RF) or by infra red (IR) waves to the receiver. The receiver then sends the information to CPS. RF RF stands for radio frequency and refers to transmission technology where radio-type waves are transmitted. CPS RF response pads can send radio frequency signals to CPS RF receivers without the need for a line of sight between the response pad and the receiver. Rich Text Format - Rich Text Format is a type of file format that allows you to transfer data from one program to another. Rich Text files end in *.rtf. S Session - A session is any lesson that you engage, from which performance data is gathered. Standards - Standards are state, district, or school-mandated minimum requirements of students.
