3 Mind the (Gender) Gap Instructions
I use Turning Point ‘s Power Point clicker polling functionality to complete this exercise. It could be done with an app like Poll Anywhere, but I forbid all cell phone use in my classes. I do the polling in three rounds: all students, students who primarily identify as female, and students who primarily identify as male. The disadvantage to clickers is that one cannot separate responses by gender, so each question has to be polled three times, which is why the Power Point contains each question three times and a slide for the comparison results. Students who are gender fluid are free to participate in either gender round, or may choose not to participate at all. Clickers are completely anonymous, so students can gender identify however they feel comfortable, whether they are “out” to their classmates or not. © Amy L. Atchison, 2016

4 Mind the (Gender) Gap So, this will be a little different than our typical clicker exercises… We’re going to do this in 3 rounds & you WILL NOT be able to see the results until both rounds are complete. In alphabetical order: Round 1: everyone’s round Round 2: if you primarily identify as female, this is your round Round 3: if you primarily identify as male, this is your round © Amy L. Atchison, 2016

5 Mind the gap Only vote in the first round and in YOUR gender round, please We’ll be using clicker channel 80 To activate your clicker, press CH, 80, CH © Amy L. Atchison, 2016
