Captur is a simple tool that teachers can use in their classrooms to help them capture the class' understanding or opinions in an instant. Each students has a paddle-shaped flash card. When the teacher asks a question, she also provides up to four options for the answers. Students all use their Captur paddle to give their answers.

In a nutshell, Captur is a way for teachers to encourage every student to stay involved in the class. We've been amazed at how Captur has changed our classrooms. Before, even our better students would sometimes lose focus, but Captur gives everyone a reason to stay attentive.

This is similar to expensive "clicker" systems that many teachers use, but Captur is a decidedly low-tech alternative.
