4. Who can use them?

5. What can they be used for?
• Formative Assessment
• Summative Assessment
• Review
• Attendance
6. How do I use them?
• Assess student learning at the end of each class
period with an exit ticket type question
• Class review, or formative assessment
• Summative assessment for test questions
7. Exit Ticket Questions
• Assign each student a number that correlates to a
response system remote
• Our last activity of each day is to answer one exit ticket
type question electronically
• After the students leave, I am able to create a report on
the data and effectively design my instruction for the
next day
8. Class Review
• Students can work individually, in partners, or in groups to
answer questions that are projected electronically
“One glance at aggregated responses can immediately convey whether
the class in agreement (a peak), generally undecided (a random
spread), or highly polarized (two distinct peaks).” (Shihadeh-
Shald, 2010)
• This quick response helps me know what areas of study are
most important to review before a summative assessment.
9. Summative Assessment
• I project a series of questions and set a timer for
each one
• Students work individually at their desk to solve
the problem then select the appropriate answer
choice with their clicker
10. Benefits
• The students will be less frustrated because they know that I can
immediately see who needs help and what specifically needs to
be addressed.
• Shy students no longer have to worry, “because clicker responses
can be anonymous, clickers encourage participation, even from
shy students or with sensitive topics.” (Derringer, 2011)
• The grading part of assignments and tests is done automatically
so teachers are left with more time to work individually with
students.
