Questions & Answers How do I lead a class-wide discussion
after a clicker question? Don’t reveal the correct answer
immediately. Ask for explanations to answers.
What if the technology doesn’t work or students forget clickers?
Practice with technology before class. For graded questions, students can write their answers on paper and turn that in.
Questions & Answers How do I begin? Find someone who’s currently using
clickers and ask for their advice. Contact campus technology office for
additional support and supplies. College bookstores & on-line has
products.
