Recap of Clickers

Alas, my time with discussing clickers has come to an end. From the past few weeks, I have learned that for the most part clickers add a positive element to classrooms. Students participate more and lively discussions take place. Most frequently clickers are used in colleges and in science classrooms. On the negative side, students didn't like not being able to change their answers or not knowing if their answer had been registered.

Overall though, clickers seem to improve the students' experience in the classroom.

On a lighter note, I found this cartoon that although not the same clicker I wrote about, it still illustrates a problem that can occur with clickers. Enjoy!
