click or no click
I think these past weeks on the discussion of clickers has really been helpful in seeing other people perspectives and what they find important. Overall i think clickers can be a useful helpful tool when used correctly. Understanding that they cannot generate elaborate answers just shows that if you are using them to make sure and incorporate other activites that focus on topics and ways in which to answer questions that clickers cannot. I think we struggle with some students always not particpating and i think that clickers do help this, and progress is always important.

I agree Lindsay I have found clickers to be most beneficial in my classroom for students who are difficult to motivate and never participate. Some are shy, others are embarassed they don't know or understand the material but atleast the clickers allow them to participate without worrying about being ridiculed.
ReplyDeleteHave not used Clickers but now I have an iPad for school, iTunes is always advertising Clickers in its Education section
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ashley I have learned so much about Clickers but I have learned I don't need technology a show of hands can work to at different times in the lesson.
