The Clicker Guys

     It isn't often I leave a business meeting having had fun, but that was certainly the case yesterday.  "The Clicker Guys" (okay, just one of the two) visited MSTA to demonstrate a classroom performance system which puts a remote device in the hands of each student.  Instructors use a hand held chalkboard to guide students through questions via software displayed by an LCD projector.

     This is Q & A kicked up a notch, folks!  When a question is asked or presented on screen,  students log in answers on their remote device.  The display indicates when all students have responded, then reveals the right answer and the percentage of students who answered correctly/incorrectly.  (Think America's Funniest Home Videos - "Lock in your choice now. . .")

     Additionally, the software creates hard copy tests, generates reports about individual student performance, and links material to state standards (per teacher input).  The software is helpful without the clicker set, and you may download it free from www.eInstruction.com.  It is definitely worth checking out!
