Engaging with Polling and Clickers

Monday, March 14, 2011 | 4:45PM–5:30PM | Toledo/Fifth Floor
Session Type: Professional Development
This special "Experience IT" session is designed to offer a hands-on, highly interactive introduction to an emerging tool and explore its potential impact for professional development and the classroom. Please bring a laptop or mobile device to the session to ensure you can engage with the presenter. Seating will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.


Numerous studies indicate that personal response systems (clickers and other polling tools) increase engagement, attention, and participation. But how do we use these tools most effectively to promote engagement and interaction? This session will explore effective uses and include a look at some research in this arena.
