Students have been using clickers since the day after we got them, using the Express Poll, mostly as an informal assessment of their skills in using material presented. In a couple of classes, students asked to use them if I didn't start the class with them.
The best feedback has come when students choose from pre-set multiple choice questions/answers. This lets us discuss the "wrong vs right" answers and move along. When I ask that they type in words, there's the risk of students taking too much liberty with "entertaining" answers.
I did have a little trouble changing pages of my ppt while using Express Poll. The Elite 3 "guru" has advised me to make sure I close the Express Poll question before trying to go to the next page of my ppt.
