Two new solutions from Mcgraw Hill

CINCH Mathematics uses interactive whiteboard technology and student response devices from Promethean. Developed by the McGraw-Hill Education Center for Digital Innovation, CINCH Mathematics helps teachers plan, teach, assess and differentiate instruction through one powerful online tool. Students learn math concepts and acquire skills through motivating, teacher-led, interactive whiteboard classroom instruction. The student-response devices engage today's digital natives and encourage even the quietest students to participate in lessons. The program collects each student's answers so teachers can use them to individualize instruction.

CTB/McGraw-Hill's Acuity UnWired(TM) enables students to take Acuity InFormative Assessments(TM) using student response devices, or "clickers" provided by Qwizdom® and eInstruction(TM). Teachers can immediately act on assessment responses and generate standards-aligned Acuity reports within minutes. The instantaneous feedback provided by Acuity UnWired gives educators the ability to make data-driven instructional decisions without delay, providing students with targeted instruction in real time. Acuity is the winner of a 2009 CODiE award for Best Student Assessment Solution. Acuity UnWired has already been demonstrated in school district pilot projects in five states with universally successful results.
