How do I get started?

In fall of 2007, Turning  Technologies will be the supplier for PRS systems, under a standardization agreement. The Learning Technology Services LST can help you with learning how to use the PRS software, ensuring that the system works in your classroom, and distributing clicker units to students. To learn more about York's standard clicker system and how to get started, visit the Personal Response System web site.
