Classroom Response System (Clickers)

Classroom Response System clickers are a great tool for the classroom. As with any use of technologies, there are challenges that come along with using these in the classroom. From the research that I have read I think that the pros out weigh the cons. To me the use of CRS will allow the teacher more time to spend on a subject or an topic. I think that it would be great in math when teaching students the difference between different types of graphs. Using the clickers along with a PowerPoint presentation will allow students and the teacher the ability to collect the data needed for the graph. By doing that the students will be engaged and they will be able to use data that they are interesting in. Follow the links below to find further information about Classroom Response Systems.

    Classroom response system (CRS) is a great way to assess the class quickly. They provide teachers with a lot of information about their students. CRS can be used to review or preview a lesson with the entire classroom. I really like this technology because it allows the students to participate without fear of being embarrassed if they have a incorrect response. This is key for the student with a disability who is in the general education classroom.

    Clickers are a great addition to the classrooms of today. They allow students to be interactive and more alert to the the lesson that is being taught. Children of today are very excited about new technologies and they are ready to learn new things.
