Clickers

1. How have you been using the clickers in your classroom?
I have been using the clickers since they were passed out. I came to school and implemented them the following morning.
I use them in a variety of ways. One way, is each morning the students send in their name if they have turned in their homework. This reminds them to get their work turned in because they always want to use the clickers.
Another way in which I use them is with math. I use them for introducing a concept, or while learning the concept, and/or to close the lesson.
Social Studies is another area in which clickers have been integrated. It seems to make the lessons more enjoyable and interactive.

2. What successes have you had? Challenges?
I have had much success while using the clickers. The students are motivated and want to answer. They look forward to using them each day. It seems to engage them in the lesson.
Challenges that have been faced are minor. For instance, when some send in their answer using uppercase letters versus the same answer in lowercase, the results are shown differently. Also, our clicker 23 magically answers at times. (even though it is put away in the case and crossed off)


3. Include evidence of learning such as pictures of student interactions, screen shot of clicker results....
