Lecture With Clickers

Using your clickers only for assessments is like owning a Lamborghini and using it only to drive your kids three blocks to school every day. You're missing out on the very best aspect of the product. The very best part of CPS is its ability to engage learners and use their feedback to increase the effectiveness of the learning process.

If you've ever set in on a class or presentation that uses clicker, it is interesting to note how much more students pay attention when they realize they are going to be held accountable by an upcoming clicker question. Lecture with clickers will engage your learners!

To Use CPS In Lectures or Group Discussions:

• Pass out the remotes.
• Turn on CPS.
• Ask questions using CPS Verbal Mode for on-the-spot questioning or have your clicker questions already prepared in a CPS database or embedded in a PowerPoint.

Engaging Every Student in Your Discussion

One of the greatest advantages of using CPS during lectures or discussions is the ability to involve all students without ridicule or embarrassment. CPS feedback from lecture and group discussions provides a much more accurate picture when the influence of peer pressure does not come into play.

Clickers give teachers the ability to involve the "quiet kid" on every answer and give the "over-anxious kid" a chance to answer every question! There is nothing like making everybody happy!

Lectures and discussions using CPS will allow you to get a clear picture of the need to reteach information or continue on. It will also allow the students to realize if there are certain areas that they are struggling in and for which they might need to get some extra help. Thus, you are making the learning process more effective and more efficient.
