Is there a random mode? For example, if I just want a random person to answer...it will light up one student? Also, can you make these wireless?

You can turn off different controllers at any time. If you don't want others to know what you're doing just act as if you're adjusting the volume. They can't go wireless. You would need a small table to put them on. When we play, I pull up a small table and use the smart board to have the questions. Then, have the students in the "audience" write down what they think the answer is so that it is 100% participation. Let me know if you have any other questions. The kids love it! You can even have a setting that makes them answer it before the timer goes off if you want a faster pace review. You can turn off different controllers at any time.

Yes, it can do a random mode. I'm not sure about the wireless feature, its not on my model.

You can use the "Wheel of Fortune" mode to get a random student. The light will "spin" for a couple seconds and then land on one of the lights, and that student has to answer. Also, it does come in wireless, but that costs more.

It will spin through the lights and land on a random buzzer. If you want wireless, you have to buy the wireless version, which is much more expensive.

Yes, it can pick a random student. This is one of the modes. You can find details on page 3 of the Eggspert directions. You cannot make this version wireless, although we do sell a wireless version called Wireless Eggspert. The Amazon ASIN for this version is B001ZMZK7A.

There is a random mode. The students choose a color egg and they light up randomly; then the last light will stay on for as many seconds as you set it for and the student has that amount of time to answer. I don't know if you can make them wireless, but in the random mode they don't have to push the egg so it is essentially 'wireless' in that mode. I hope that helps.

We gave it away so don't know if there's a random option although that's a great idea! Doubt it's wireless capable or the cost would be much higher.

I have been able to get the controller to work using wifi. They now include the part needed to have the controller talk to your router. When I bought mine I had to purchase that separately (Netgear). I think you can also set the controller remotely though I haven't done this yet. I'm still not happy with this product. It has so glitches that I haven't worked out - can't properly name the zones, for example.

The controller has two output's to plug lights into. You can change the two different channels to different colors, but cannot pick a single pod or strip to change. You can download the app for free and check it out. You can create custom patterns and colors with the app. and save them. It also has preset patterns for the holidays. Thanks and let us know if you have additional questions

It's very easy.1. Check that wireless trigger and ALL the the wireless receivers are in the same channel (this set has a 4 position switch, so check that all are on the same combination)2. Check that the "SLAVE" interruptor is off (in the big circle, i guess it's the middle position)... So, they are going to trigger with the radio signal emitted by the wireless trigger. 3. Check that the lights are working fine. Use the "TEST" button on each strobe and check that all are firing.(I bought the kit too, but I've been having troubles with the seller... Who is your seller? Was your kit complete? Mine came incomplete, no lightstands and no triggers :( .. Thank you ) It's very easy.1.

Do you mean an individual username/password given to each person? If so, I've not tested this. I have connected one to my home network using a WPA2 encryption with a password, but everyone given the same password. As others mentions you're running in bridge mode to do this. If it's for a single device a USB adapter would be better.

You have to have it connected to the computer,,it is not wireless! It works really well though! I use it for my classroom library!

I am not overly happy with mine. I could not tell one bit of difference from the low signal I was already getting in my classroom at school. I will admit that I am somewhat a novice, so I may not be getting the best benefit from mine. Don't know if you can change the channel.

I used this in my classroom for small groups. Students can plug their headphones into iPods, CD players, etc and all can hear the same thing. Early on, we had issues with not very one agreeing to the same volume, but they quickly got over it. I'm not sure about the wireless headphones, but maybe?

I have found a few things. 1) There are two batteries in my remote, the Next Gen battery and one you add. Both must be COMPLETELY good. If the added AA battery is 90%, that's good enough for a flashlight, but not for the Next Gen to work. I don't use cheap AA batteries any more, I buy the better ones. 2) Interference. I have my wireless router near the Next Gen base. If 3 kids are playing WOW, Toon Town, etc., hitting the wireless network hard, maybe one of 3 of the remote keypresses gets through. I would guess other typical wi-fi interference, microwave ovens, etc. would cause similar problems. I don't know if this is your problem, but it's my experience.

We didn't get the version that's in the picture, but we got a leapfrog leaptop a year ago and we didn't have that problem with it! I'm sure you have looked, but just incase you haven't..is there a brightness button or switch?

Hi Joseph, not sure if this will post under my account or not, but responding to the email: You know, I've tried...it seems like it will work at the same time for a minute...but then it stops. It's also kind of schitzo, and confusing to work. I push the right button and it doesn't go on, or I push both and they both come on, then I push the left and nothing happens, and it's unclear how to reset it. I compare it to how you push all the buttons on your remote when the TV is frozen. Seems kind of like that. Since my posting, I've stopped using it all together, because I thought that I'd just make the double light come on and flash, just for visibility. But then I discovered that it wouldn't last but for a moment. Oh well. I'm glad this was a gift, because I would have felt frustrated and returned it by now. :(

That's what I wondered too, if it needed to "warm up" first, or be in an extra-dark room. You may have a faulty one too like me. I had to tap on it near the bottom & turn it upside down & hold it it at an angle to get it to light up-not what you should do to make it work! Email Amazon & they'll fwd it to Scientifics & they should email you back w/phone #. I called them today & they said Fedex would pick it up next day & send me another one. So hope next one works! Good luck with yours! :)

I don't think there is a random mode. I haven't found it. But you can plug in an exteral device like your MP3 player and have it produce a playlist or random list. Remember you have to purchase a mini SD card.

Hi, Thank you for you inquiry about the scrabble with wi-fi capabilities. I have been constantly on the lookout for and will purchase this item as soon as I find the price I can buy it for and know its not a knock-off. Unfortunately, that opportunity has not been there to date. Please enjoy this special time of year and Merry Xmas to you and yours. respectfully, Don Walters ddwalt67

A. Blue: Many thanks for your input. Makes sense. The recipient tested it on Sunday, Jan. 30 and it worked indoors. It also came with the instruction sheet. She has not tested other features yet but I assume it will be fine. For other posters -- thanks also for your feedback. E. Bryant

same opinion than dj. it's a great idea for classroom but you have to make sure the room is quite dark. however the compact and small dimension of the projector is the best deal
