Slam-ins are a simple buzzer system (a misnomer, since it only makes noise if you want it to make noise) for quiz bowls or academic meets/reviews. Most buzzer systems are used only by a school's academic team, but Slam-In is designed to be used by all the teachers in a school - for engaging content review, for pop quizzes, for "quiz nights", and anything else you can imagine. I have used them on numerous occasions to invigorate and engage students, mixing all levels of questions together to keep all students interested.
The Slam-In system is available for check out from N01. The system comes in a clear plastic suitcase, which contains:1 Blue Thumbdrive with the Software
1 USB Cable to connect the Remote Receiver
1 Remote Receiver, about the size of a deck of cards
1 Host Remote, pictured left
10 Slammers, with 9V Batteries reversed
To set up the system:
First, connect the remote receiver to the USB cable, then connect the USB cable to your pc.
Next, insert the thumbdrive and view the files on the drive. Run the Slam In program.
The initial SlamIn window will be your set up screen. Use this setup screen to set your number of teams. Will you have ten teams, or two teams with five members each? You decide how to divide the slammers. Each tab for teams allows you to specify the team name. I usually put the student(s) names as the team name.
I will video how to set it up. And post it next week.
