Interactive Lectures - Clickers
Bill Doonan (Anthropology) stopped by with an old flyer describing Clickers - hand-held infra-red keypads - for student input during a Powerpoint lecture. His textb0ok publisher offered this interactive technology and he has made the leap for Fall 2007. The clicker will be bundled with the textbook for his classes.
The instructor will create and embed survey slides with several possible answers into Powerpoint lectures. In class, students will use their Clicker to respond with the best answer. In realtime, student responses are displayed on the survey slide.
JoinIn - Turning Point is offered by Thomson publishing.
Just found another site featuring Clickers, the Library at the University of Iowa's Arcade Classroom has two sets. They use the Quizdom system with ActionPoint software.
