CLICKERS, which go by more formal names like Audience Response Systems
(ARS), have both supporters and detractors among faculty and
students. Two strong supporters will lead this workshop and discuss
the several benefits of CLICKERS FOR BOTH THE INSTRUCTOR AND THE
CLASS, and what the detractors are missing. We will discuss several
systems you can use and provide some practical ideas for USING
CLICKERS. Participants will write at least one clicker
question. PLEASE BRING A LAPTOP OR TABLET TO THE WORKSHOP IF
POSSIBLE.
