The instant survey generation has already highlighted interesting results - children tend to be far more tolerant of alcohol than tobacco. Most are in favour of an overall tobacco ban while disagreeing that the legal age for alcohol consumption should be raised to 21.
A recent report for the NHS revealed that in 2006, 21 per cent of pupils in England aged 11-15 reported drinking alcohol in the week prior to being interviewed.
Handheld electronic voting systems from Qwizdom bring new elements of interactivity and fun to Life Education's classroom sessions. Multiple-choice questions are posed and the children use the handsets to answer or vote. Seconds later the survey is collated and results are displayed on an interactive whiteboard for all to see. This enables the tutor to see which questions are being answered incorrectly, and to identify pupils who need specific tuition.
