If you or a colleague are interested in classroom response technologies, please join us for an ELI web seminar on Monday, October 5th from noon-1pm in 401b Teacher Education (note: enter MERIT Library on the 3rd floor and take the stairs in the library to the 4th floor).

This might be of particular interest to new clicker users, or anyone considering using them in their classroom.

Description

Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative director, will moderate this web seminar with Douglas Duncan, where he’ll share his strategies and proven experiences in effectively using clickers in the classroom. Duncan has been using clickers at the University of Colorado, where over 17,000 clickers are in use. He’ll share data gathered during the past few years that has yielded a number of effective pedagogical strategies in their implementation and deployment. Strategies that led to successful use, and mistakes that led to failure, have been found to be very repeatable; these will be discussed. Results from a PhD thesis in sociology examining how the culture of a classroom changes when the instruction becomes more interactive, and student opinions about this, will be highlighted.
