  1. Technology and Active Learning: Clickers Drew Kohlhorst, PhD Assistant Director, Emory Center for Science Education Instructor, Georgia State University, Dept of Biology

  2. Clickers and Student Engagement Personal Response Systems

  3. Types of Clickers • Traditional • TurningPoint (TurningTechnologies); eInstruction • iClicker (iclicker) • SMART Response • Hardware-minimized • PollEV (PollEverywhere) • SMART Response CE & VE • Socrative • Student Requirements: Handheld response device • Instructor Requirements: Receiver base & handheld response device • Student Requirements: Smartphone, laptop, internet or cellular connection • Instructor Requirements: • Internet-connect device, publisher software

  4. Face the Fats:The Biochemistry of Lipidsby Nancy A. RiceWestern Kentucky University http://sciencecases.lib.buffalo.edu/cs/collection/detail.asp?case_id=592&id=592

  5. How To Vote via Texting using PollEV EXAMPLE Standard texting rates only (worst case US $0.20) We have no access to your phone number Capitalization doesn’t matter, but spaces and spelling do TIPS

  6. Let’s learn about you… • What level of student-student interaction do you want in your classroom? • What level of control over your classroom are you as an instructor comfortable with having (or NOT having)? • How willing are you to take a risk in your instructional methods?

  7. Classroom Resources for Clickers • Text Publishers • National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCSTS) • CasesONLINE (http://www.cse.emory.edu/cases/) • BioQuest (bioquest.org) • ScienceCaseNet (sciencecasenet.org) • Adapt & Adopt

  8. Implementation • Understand how the technology fits in with your learning objectives • How will this technology in your classroom setting? • Pick only 1 NEW technology per semester • SELL IT!!! • Have a back-up plan
