I found this neat slide show of an ACRL Poster about clickers. I liked that the focus was on the use of clickers in a library setting. The slide show also provides good background information explaining how clickers work and the equipment needed. There is also a sample question and a demonstration of what the responses might look like if used in a classroom.
This Poster session is very different from my own experience in 511's poster session where my final product was an actual tri-fold poster. For those of you who have participated in a poster session, what was your experience like?

That is a great slide show and what a great way to get kids involved...by making test taking like a game show :-) Like I said earlier in the semester Clickers certainly make it less threating for students to particiapte and more fun.
I agree, clickers can enhance instruction if used correctly.
Thanks for sharing this slideshow! I have never been to a poster session outside of the one for 511, but I like the slideshow approach better than the cardboard poster one because with the slideshow, people can access your presentation long after the session is over.
I think that using clickers to teach searching strategies in the library is a great idea too-- What a fun way to spice up important, but potentially dry, information!
I believe our poster was just a piece of poster board on a wall with us flanking it, like royal guards.
I think these clickers would have kept me awake during those early morning classes.

Clickers definitely seem to engage the audience and the teacher when they are used. In many lectures, it would have been easier to stay awake if the professor had used clickers and a quiz following a short lecture instead of lecturing for 50 minutes or more.
A slide show does seem like it would be more effective than the poster board that we used. The amount of information that could be put on the poster was limited. Maybe we should offer this up as a suggestion to the higher ups!
