HandsDown

The Classroom Conundrum

• How do I prioritise who needs help first in the classroom?
• How can I get my students to keep working and increase learning time whilst making myself available to them?
• How can I quickly indicate students understanding?

HandsDown is a washable, student friendly and versatile teaching tool for the classroom. It is designed to be seen but not obstructive and can be used for questioning, evaluating understanding or many other uses.

HandsDown powerfully improves students learning time by allowing you to quickly and easily prioritise your students’ needs and evaluate their understanding.

How does it work?

Sometimes it is the simplest ideas that work the best! HandsDown uses the traffic light system with coloured hands (red, orange and green) placed within the ‘line of sight’ of teachers to indicate whether students need assistance immediately or whether they can continue working but would like assistance when the teacher is ready - ultimately increasing students time learning. Increased learning time More time learning and less time wasted with hands in the air!

Easy to use and understand

HandsDown is quick, visual and student/teacher friendly! LOTE students and students with learning difficulties all understand the traffic light system.

Manufacture

HandsDown is manufactured using quality thick foam for the hands, a powdercoated heavy base metal plate for stability and easy to wipe clean plastic for the housing of the hands. The aluminum post stands tall so it can be seen clearly in any classroom situation.
