Attend this webinar
Clickers can increase student engagement by going beyond simple
quizzes. Learn to write good questions, promote student discussion, and see
research results on best practices. In this interactive webinar, we'll explore
tips and ideas for incorporating clickers into your particular class. Clickers
offer a powerful way to increasing student engagement and improve learning. At
my high school, I have transformed my classrooms by using clickers to promote
peer instruction and personally written many of the questions I use. I'll show
research results on the most effective use of clickers, and discuss common
challenges. In particular, I'll focus on the attributes of “great” clicker
questions, discuss example questions, and share ideas on facilitating effective
wrap-up discussions once all the votes are in.
During the webinar, we will:
- articulate several (3-5) reasons why clicker technology can aid
in student engagement
- articulate the 6 steps of using clickers effectively: Writing
learning goals, writing and asking a clicker question, encouraging peer
discussion, requiring students to vote, facilitating whole class discussion, and
using the information from this formative assessment to improve teaching.
- explain that clickers, when used with peer instruction, promote
interactive engagement, which has been shown by several studies to improve
student learning.
- articulate at least three practices that differentiate poor use
of clickers from better use of clickers
- articulate at least three “best practices” in each of the
following areas: writing effective clicker questions, facilitating peer
discussion, and facilitating whole class discussion
