Windows or Mac, it's all the same.

Positive differences are important, but sometimes it’s better for things to be the same. It doesn’t matter if your school uses Windows® or Mac® because Insight 360™ works just the same for each one. This means you cut down on training time between the two platforms and get to the implementation of the technology much faster and more efficiently.

Educators' Experience

Simple at every turn.

When the school day starts it is imperative that educator's tools are simple to setup and integrate. Insight 360’s software and devices make everything simple from instruction through data analysis. This means it is easy to implement and easy for educators to use at the start of each class. It also means that the technology you invest in will be used every day.

Mobile, interactive instruction.

Through each lesson Mobi 360™ mobile interactive whiteboard allows for total mobility to foster a more interactive environment between teachers and students. As the lesson continues on, Mobi 360™ makes it simple to access new content and receive student performance reports via its touch screen. There is no worry of students seeing results of others because what is projected to the class is not what is viewed on the Mobi 360™ touch screen. This means students continue on task while teachers analyze the assessment results.

Constant formative assessment.

Each lesson now becomes a catalyst for assessment through instruction. Once a concept is taught educators can launch a question and receive instant feedback with CueTag™. Students then use Pulse 360™ or Spark 360™ student response pads to answer the questions and educators instantly receive feedback on the Mobi 360™ touch screen. The concept can then be re-taught and reassessed during the same lesson.

Streamlined tests.

Because this process is so instantaneous with Pulse 360™ and Spark 360™, administering and grading traditional paper tests becomes even easier. Students can easily navigate self-paced exams while educators receive their answers simultaneously. Insight 360™ even provides 18,000 standard-aligned content items from eInstruction’s ExamView®, so you can ensure students are prepared for exams. Everything is right there for you.
 

Student progress today and over time.

Instruction turns to assessment and back again while everyone stays on task, so at the end of the day you maximize student learning and data efficiency. From the instant data to Insight 360’s ability to compile longitudinal data, you can see how an individual student, class, or school is progressing. Now the effectiveness of strategies and instruction can be measured at every stage to help improve overall student progress. And it can all be used to further strengthen best practices and instructional strategies.

CueTag™

CueTag™revolutionizes how you assess student understanding.

Administrators can create a CueTag™and share it throughout the district for more consistent, standardized instructional formative assessments. Teachers can use those tags or create their own to seamlessly transition from instruction to assessment and back without skipping a beat. Students are now always on task and teachers don’t have to stop instruction to ask a question.

CueTag™it.

CueTag™is a simple tag that can be pasted on virtually any digital material. When CueTag™is used, Insight 360™ notifies the teacher who can launch a question, instantly collects and grades responses so instruction is never stopped for assessment. CueTag™contains information about the assessment item including question name, type, correct answer, and Standards, so gathering valid results of student understanding can’t be easier.

Any content from any source.

While other companies restrict you from integrating with certain technology, eInstruction’s CueTag™ allows you to use your existing content from anywhere, including Smart, Promethean, Microsoft Office, Adobe Suite, Google Docs, videos, the Internet, and any other source you can imagine. As long as you can paste an image into a document, you can CueTag™ it.

 

 
 

Simple as open, create, drag.

A CueTag™is easy to create and save to your content for quick assessment during instruction. Simply open your content, create the tag, and drag it into the content. CueTag™is saved as part of your original document so you can then instruct like normal. You can even tag content you have used for years with no need to recreate it or put it into a proprietary format like with other systems.
