How to Use the PRS Clickers


 * 1) Software must be installed first. InterWrite PRS
 * 2) http://www.einstruction.com/support_downloads/downloads.html
 * 3) Register PowerPoint Add-in
 * 4) You must have the InterWrite RF device in a USB port when you use the clickers
 * 5) You do not need the RF device in the computer when you are setting up a PowerPoint.

The PowerPoint now has an Add-Ins tab at the top of the slides.
 * 1) Click the Add-Ins tab and you will see the box with PRS, New Question, Edit Question, and Delete Question.
 * 2) Click new Question and fill in the choices in the Edit Question Properties Box.
 * 3) Click OK and you should see the PRS symbol in the bottom left corner of the slide to indicate that slide is "clickerized".

When you are finished "clickerizing" your powerpoint, you can click on the slideshow and it will activate the PRS system (make sure the RF device is in the computer and blinking it's green light). If not you will need to take it out and put it back in.

A box will pop up saying "We have detected that this presentation contains PRS questions. Do you want to activiate the PRS session now?
 * Click Yes
 * The PRS software launches
 * It will ask you which RF class you want to start.
 * Choose the class or create a new one
 * Then click OK

To CREATE a new class: You have now created a class to choose then the PRS software launches and asks for an RF class. Be sure to choose that one. You can create as many classes as you want - Try to use the same format each time.
 * Open the PRS software
 * Click on New Class
 * Fill in Course Instructor and Class Location - Make it simple - I use PG
 * Click the middle picture
 * Choose closed and anonymous
 * Click Set Class ID button then Put in simple Class ID - I use 1234

When the students turn on the clickers it will try to find the class you created. To hurry it along, you can put in the number or letter it indicates on the first PowerPoint slide and push the enter key.
