Information and Technology

Clickers are devices that look like remote controls and allow all the students to respond to a question at the same time. Usually the questions are multiple-choice questions. Images can be incorporated into questions. Software quickly summarizes the responses and shows the number of students who selected each answer choice. This summary can be displayed as a bar chart to the entire class.
