1. What is a clicker device?
What are clickers? Often called classroom response systems, audience
response systems or student response systems, clickers are handheld
devices that students use to respond to questions or polls during
lectures. They normally have multiple option buttons, and are
generally powered by AAA batteries.
What is the advantage of the clickers?
The first and most basic advantage of clickers is that they immediately
broaden student participation beyond the front row. The act of
raising your hand to answer a question, particularly in large
classrooms, requires a substantial measure of courage, pluck and
extroversion. Clickers remove those barriers.
