GTCO Calcomp Inc. InterWrite PRS RF

GTCO CALCOMP INC. announces the arrival of InterWrite PRS RF, the latest radio-frequency version of its awardwinning student response system, InterWrite PRS.

In addition to multiple-choice and true/false questions, teachers can use the system to ask advanced numeric questions with positive and negative numbers and decimal points. InterWrite PRS RF can be used in settings ranging from small classrooms to 2,000- student lecture halls. Price: $2,000; www.gtcocalcomp.com.
