Getting Used to Clickers

My use of clickers:
- daily questions of the day (warm-ups) for multiple choice
- checking for understanding after video clips or probes (formative assessment)

Sucesses:
- Getting a true feel for how well my students understand the warm-up, so I can allocate the right amount of time to go over it. 
- Students enjoy using the clickers and ask for them. 
- Greater student participation than usual.
- Velcroing them to the desks.

Challenges:
- Figuring out the logistics originally
- One clicker was dropped the first day and now it rattles
- Not able to assign numbers when they are attached at the seats


Evidence of Learning:

Students texted in a property of gold that they learned from a video clip.
