TWO WAYS TO USE EGGSPERT

EGGSPERT’s two unique modes (“Quiz Show” and “Wheel of Fortune”) will help you integrate this motivational learning aid into your
daily classroom activities. Please refer to pages 4 and 5 for explanations and illustrations of EGGSPERT’s special features.

“Quiz Show”

In this mode, the teacher poses 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.

Set a time limit (no limit, 5, 10, 20, or 30 seconds) for student to answer the
question. (TIMER)

3.

Choose “time out” sound: tone or voice. (TONE/VOICE)

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 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, the teacher resets
EGGSPERT by pressing the white CONTROL BUTTON. If time runs out
before the student answers, the teacher resets EGGSPERT by pressing the
CONTROL BUTTON.
