In our first Summer 2017 edtech episode, we talk about classroom response systems, aka clickers. We're joined by three guests who have each used a different product extensively in their classes. First, Jenny Wissink (Cornell) shares how she uses iClicker to assess students' understanding of pre-class video. Next, Bonni Stachowiak (Vanguard and the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast) explains why and how PollEverywhere gets students engaged. Finally, Susan Reilly (Florida State, Jacksonville) talks about how much fun her students have with Kahoot! Along the way we tell you what tools might be the best fit in different situations and how to get started with each tool.

How to set up the instructor remote in iClicker so you can remotely control polling, histogram display and advance through your slide presentation.

Our panel of faculty will share their experiences using the iClicker classroom response system.  Find out first hand how clickers are being used on campus, what works and doesn't work, and what it takes to get started. Panelists: Ronald Lee, Demography & Economics: A course in transition... Ron came to ETS looking for ways technology could be used to help increase student attendance, participation, and satisfaction with his course. After one term using clickers, Ron shares his impressions and future ideas. Lynn Huntsinger, Environmental Science, Policy & Management: New to clickers this term... Lynn shares her start-up experience, what types of questions she uses, and a student survey about clickers. Daniela Kaufer, Integrative Biology: More than a sage on the stage... Daniela was eager to engage her students in class, but was finding it hard to get students to open up. Hear how she used clickers to get students more involved in lecture and what she learned NOT to do. Michelle Douskey, Chemistry: Chem 1a, the full clicker experience... Michelle and the Chem 1a team use clickers and the data you can collect from them as an integral part of their teaching and research. She will share their experience, the benefits, and what it takes to pull it off.
