Clicker Classroom Use

Classroom use:


The i>clicker does not actually integrate with programs running on your computer, rather it runs alongside them.  Because of this you can use virtually any program  you want with the i>clicker.

When you start a poll question with your class, i>clicker takes a screenshot of the screen to associate with the question, allowing you to go back and see what you were showing the class at the time of the poll.

General use:

The i>clicker is generally used for basic feedback in the form of polling. It allows you to see about how well the class understands the material being presented. To use your i>clicker in class:

  1. Plug in your i>clicker base to your computer
  2. Open the i>clicker application
  3. Choose the class that you want to open and click on Choose
  4. Choose the Start Session button


*An easy way to integrate i>clickers into your class would be to set up a question about every third or fourth slide in a powerpoint presentation. The instructor remote can move back and forth through the slides, start and stop polling, establish a correct answer and can display results.

If there is no question displayed on screen, you can ask a question on the fly by choosing "Question on the Fly" from the drop down menu of the i>clicker display.

When your session is over exit out of the displayed i>clicker window, you session will be saved and will be viewable from the i>grader application.
