Make Clickers Work For You
Stephanie Chasteen
Wednesday, January 4, 2012
12:00 PM CST

Stephanie Chasteen, University of Colorado Boulder http://sciencegeekgirl.com/

In this interactive webinar, we'll explore tips and ideas for incorporating clickers into your particular class. Clickers offer a powerful way to increase student engagement and improve learning. At the University of Colorado, we have transformed our classrooms by using clickers to promote peer instruction. We'll discuss best-practices based on research, as well as common challenges reported by instructors. In particular, we'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.


This webinar is just one of a series of pedagogy webinars scheduled for spring 2012.
