I have been using the clickers for assessments in math and social studies lately. It has been great getting the results immediately. Also, it was beneficial to see which questions were most often missed. Also, I saw quickly that I didn't teach a concept very well because most of the class answered the question wrong. SO, I went back and was able to reteach directly that day and we were able to discuss it immediately following the assessment.
I have been using and loving the clickers daily. I still find that the flip charts are great for re-teaching a concept and are great for review. The self-paced clickers are also great to review with, it really lets you see how concrete your teaching is or isn't.
It is sometimes hard for the students to be able to read all the questions and answer choices in first grade. But as the year progresses, it gets better. Also, it took some time for the students to learn they have to scroll down to view the whole question at times.
