The Senteo interactive response system provides a direct connection between you and your students. You no longer have to wonder if students understand what you’ve taught them. They can tell you with the click of a button. With the Senteo, you are able to quiz, poll, assess and gauge student understanding with the power of SMART’s Notebook software.  Because Senteo is a fully integrated arm of Notebook software, it offers both potential and simplicity to teachers using the SmartBoard. Come to this workshop and see first hand the power of this student response system!
