‘Success+tament’ Okay, so I had an ultimate clicker experience last Thursday. My class had taken an exam and hadn't done well on it-- partly their fault, and probably partly my fault as I lectured sick one day and am not sure I actually made sense. So I decided to let them retake the top ten most missed questions from the exam to have an opportunity to earn back half their value (10 points). I made them bunch up in groups and had them put everything away except their clickers. I put the questions up in Powerpoint one at a time and gave them two minutes to discuss (no books, no notes) in their groups before weighing in with an answer. So everything sounds okay, so far right? Well let me tell you that it went over like gangbusters. They had good discussions and they earned points and had the best time. On three of the questions the entire class came to consensus with the right answer. Everytime the answer was flashed they cheered. It got a little Thunderdomey (new word) when many of them would enter their answer and then put the clicker down with a thump. By the end of the ten questions, they were banging the clickers in time to the seconds counting down--and then giving a roaring cheer. I have never been through anything like it. For the rest of class, they were attentive during lecture, more people offered opinions, and six people came up after class to say how much they enjoyed it. Apparently, clickers work. Of course, we'll see what happens today......

Lessons Learned Just-in-time support Diverse technical environments Student workflows Realistic expectations Academic calendar
