iClickers+(SMART+Response)

=What is an iClicker?=

iClickers (or student response systems) is technology that allows students to anonymously, or within a software classroom grade book, respond to a question(s) that is posed. This technology allows for full class collaboration and assessment. It lets the instructor and the student know how well they understand the material or allows a students to voice their opinion and/ or perspective about a topic. Imagine sparking a discussion on how students really feel about their body image in a PE or English class by having students respond anonymously and then sharing the (anonymous) results.
