Completed Projects:
Research Project: Using Clickers in Today's Classroom: Clickers increase student preparation by holding students individually accountable for information.
Clickers increase participation due to the anonymous nature of the assessment. Clickers sustain attention due to the interactivity between instructor and student as well as among students. This research project enabled me to learn about how to use student response systems in the classroom and how they can enhance student achievement. I continue to use clickers today!
How Student Response Systems Can Carry Your Classroom Into the 21st Century: Student Response Systems, (sometimes referred to as “clickers”, Classroom Response Systems, Audience Response Systems, or Classroom Performance Systems), are hand-held devices that allow instructors to quickly collect and assess students’ responses to questions during class. This paper discusses how to incorporate student response systems into a curriculum effectively.
