  1. Clicker Procedure • Open the TurningPoint Anywhere program. • Load the correct participation list from the USB drive (i.e., load up our student data information so that their clickers will be recognized). Daniel will update it every Thursday afternoon. • Poll students at the computer. (I haven't figured out yet if we can start and stop polls from the clicker.) • Most important! Save the session data back to the USB thumb drive. After Thursday's lecture, deliver USB to Daniel’s box for updating.
