We have really enjoyed having the clickers in our classroom. The children enjoy getting them out and on their desk as a part of their morning routine. We have used them to do a variety of things in our room each day. Making decisions has become a very democratic process that can take place quickly and efficiently. Of course the kids want to vote on everything, now! :) They have also made working on study guides, answering math questions, and participating in interactive web sites something they all participate in actively for all questions and activities. I observe an increase in interest, focus and use of time!
Our math lesson on symmetry was enhanced with the clickers. The students cut out shapes to fold in order to strengthen their understanding of lines of symmetry. Then we responded with a number indicating how many lines of symmetry each shape had. The graphs provide great immediate feedback.
