But folks... this is a technology that we wish was around a long time ago and is going to stick around for even longer!

Since when has engaging our students been a FAD or a TREND? Engaging our students for active learning should be one of our MAIN GOALS!

But like I said, we DO understand your wariness, so check out some of these links to clicker research, articles, and other resources if you need a little more convincing!

These links will take you out of this site. To get back to Engaging Technologies, just close the outside link window.

(Note: This bibliography contains such an exhaustive list of resources, that I will not even attempt to put them on this site. This is an amazing resources if you are considering clickers. However, if I find research not listed in this bibliography, I will make sure and list it below.)
