TWO WAYS TO USE WIRELESS EGGSPERT
Wireless Eggspert’s two unique modes (“Quiz Show” and “Wheel of Fortune”) will
help you integrate this motivational learning aid into your daily classroom activities.
“Quiz Show”
In this mode, you pose a question and the first student to press his or her “answer
button” gets to answer.
1. Give each student (or group of students) an ANSWER BUTTON.
2. On the TEACHER REMOTE, slide the TIMER switch to set a time limit
(no limit, 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds) for student to answer the question.
3. Select a “time out” sound by sliding the TONE/VOICE switch.
4. Now ask a question. (“Who was the first president of the United
States?”)
5. As soon as a student presses his or her button, the corresponding
colored “egg” beeps and lights up. Then Wireless Eggspert will begin
ticking down the time clock. That student then has the specified amount
of time in which to answer the question. If the student answers before
time runs out, reset Wireless Eggspert by pressing the CONTROL
BUTTON on the TEACHER REMOTE. If time runs out before the
student answers, reset Wireless Eggspert by pressing the
CONTROL BUTTON.
Please refer to pages 4 and 5 for explanations and illustrations of Wireless Eggspert’s
special features.
“Wheel of Fortune”
In this mode, Wireless Eggspert picks who will answer a question!
(Note: Student answer buttons are not needed for this mode.)
1. Assign each student (or group of students) an egg color.
2. Set the TIMER on the TEACHER REMOTE.
3. Choose a sound on the TEACHER REMOTE: TONE or VOICE.
4. The teacher presses the CONTROL BUTTON to set the egg lights in
motion. Eggs light and beep in sequence, gradually slowing until only
one egg remains lit.
5. The student assigned to that egg must answer the question before
time is up. If time runs out before the student answers, reset Wireless
Eggspert by pressing the CONTROL BUTTON.
