ClassPager Applications
For the Student
1. Student class representatives or study leaders could create ClassPager accounts if classmates agree to communicate that way. The class rep could send reminders to peers, organize events, etc. Though not aligned with a specific ASRT objective, effective and respectful communication practices are emphasized for student technologists because of their future role in a healthcare team. 2. Take advantage of polls in class to provide feedback to teachers. Other students will not know how you respond. This role is applicable for any ASRT curricula. 3. For students in the B.S.R.S.

The student lab section leader can communicate with the lab group about reports, data recording for experiments, and due dates. |
For the Educator
1. Use ClassPager during class to ask poll questions to students. This activity gives students an opportunity to share responses anonymously. It helps the teacher see if there is a concept that needs reinforcing. 2. Use ClassPager with student technologists at international partner sites. The feedback is an added plus to make sure that there are no misunderstandings due to cultural or language differences. 3. A clinical coordinator in any medical imaging program can use ClassPager to notify students of clinical site delays or weather advisories. 4. An instructor for any topic in the radiologic sciences can use class pager to send student reminders and updates on schedule changes.
