How have you been using the clickers in your classroom?
I have used them in several ways so far. 1) As part of morning work when the students come in. 2) Used them for a math measurement "hunt" for 5th grade. 3) End of the day review questions.
What successes have you had? Challenges?
So far pretty successful! Kids are definitely enjoying them and have been pretty responsible with them. In my room I keep them velcroed to the desk and in order to keep their clickers with them at all times they must have neat/tidy desk areas. If they can't keep it neat then I keep them with me until we need them. The only challenge was realizing I had to set the timer with the questions when I made my measurement hunt! Otherwise the timers were set to 5:00 to complete all of the tasks and it would reset the clickers.
I don't have any pictures at this time. I do have the Measurement Hunt saved as a flipchart if anyone would like to look it over and use it(5th grade). Email me and I'll send it to you aheilich@lindberghschools.ws
I like how you are having your kids "earn" the right to keep their clicker with them. Many kids do not take the time to even attempt to keep their desk neatly organized. Motivation!
