Using Clickers in the Classroom √ §
The What, Why, and How
Ever wonder what your students are thinking in class, and
whether they are learning anything? Classroom response systems, also known as
“clickers,” are a useful tool for polling students in real time. Because
students’ responses are anonymous, asking clicker questions can help promote
students’ learning by providing them with immediate, non-intimidating feedback.
Clickers also allow you to find out student views on sensitive subjects or even
what students think about the day’s class. In this session, faculty who use
clickers in their teaching will share their practices, and staff from
instructional technology will provide information on how to use clickers
conveniently in your teaching.
