Tbers, I've asked the Educational Technology Committee (ETC) to take a look at the issue of "clickers" on campus. These Personal Response Systems (PRS) allow students to press a button on a remote in response to a question posed in class. The answers are quickly gathered and summarized by the faculty members computer in the front of the room and used to guide the class. A good book on these devices and how they are used in post secondary science is "Clickers in the Classroom" by Douglas Duncan, Publisher: Benjamin Cummings, Copyright: 2005, ISBN-10:0805387285, ISBN-13:9780805387285. A copy of this is available in the TLTC if you want to look it over. As these devices make their way onto campus, it is important that we standardize on them if possible. We want our students to be able to buy just one "clicker" and have it work in any of their classes. We want them to be able to sell them back to the bookstore and have the bookstore sell them, etc. A representative from one of the more popular systems, Interwrite, will be in the TLTC on Oct. 16 from 1:30 to about 3:30 showing off one of these systems. If you are interested please stop by and take a look at them. Your feedback to the ETC would be helpful. Thanks. Mr. James B.
