ThereClickers also known as Personal Response System or Classroom Performance System. Clickers are small remote like devices that teachers can use to collect students response to interactive tests and quizzes (Trees, 2007).The teacher presents a question to the students through a projector.The students using the clickers submit their response to the question asked.Immediately the teacher receives the data on the student’s response.With that data the teacher can modify instruction, generate reports and overall make learning more engaging and motivating to students (Bytes, 2006).Clickershave numerous advantages in the classroom; unfortunately clickers are not very popular in the elementary level.Wichita School District is implementing its use in daily lessons across all grade levels.In Tuscan, Arizona elementary students talk about clickers used in their Spanish classroom.The]]> Tue, 29 Apr 2008 18:32:16 +0000 mod http://edtc6320team4.pbwiki.com/Elementary+School+-++Delia email.hidden@example.com (Delia Villarreal) Delia Villarreal edited Elementary School - Delia The use of clickers in the classroom offer many advantages.

School districts in Dallas, New York City, and St. Paul have also purchased Clickers.
One positive aspect of utilizing Clickers in the classrooms is that once students have clicked in their answers, the computer quickly converts the data into bar graphs for the class to visualize.The teacher is the only person who can actually "see" how each student answered.In other words, students should not get embarrassed if they happen to click the wrong answer since they do not know each other's responses. The clickers help "students become active participants, not merely passive listeners to a lecture" (Duncan, 2007). When students discuss answers with thier peers, they process the information and it is more likely that learning takes place.

Clickers are becoming more widespread throughout K-12 settings. Conoley, Moore, Croom, & Flowers conducted a study on clickers at Southern Nash High School in Nash County, North Carolina (2006). The study included three agriculture teachers and 61 students in those 3 classes.Instructor 1 did not utilize the clickers, where as, Instructors 2 and 3 did utilize the clickers during the first instructional unit. The roles changed during the second instructional unit: Instructor 1 did utilize the clickers while Instructors 2 and 3 did not. At the end of each unit, a test was administered to the students.

are Clickers? Clickers? by Juspreet Kaur
Classroom Performance Response Systems (CPRS), also called Clickers, have been incorporated into many University, College and K-12 classrooms.Teachers and students are using the clickers as an interactive response system for discussion, courseware feedback, and participation. Clickers basically work like a remote control which each student holds.Since most households have televisions, VCR's and/or DVD players, the training required for use of the technology is minimal. Even very young children can operate clickers with ease.
Generally, the students are asked to respond to a multiple choice question, the results of which can be displayed on a bar graph instantly.Teachers can use the results as a measure of active learning, and as a springboard for further discussion.Ulrich (2006) describes how one professor uses the immediate feedback to set the pace for learning in his classroom: "If]]> Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:40:40 +0000 mod http://edtc6320team4.pbwiki.com/Clicker+Technology+in+the+Public+School+Classroom email.hidden@example.com (Leonard Hudson) Leonard Hudson edited Clicker Technology in the Public School Classroom There are several manufacturers of personal response systems (PRS) for the education world. This report limits the investigation to four systems, eInstruction, iClicker, Interwrite, and iRespond.
Clicker technology includes infrared and radio frequency for communicating between the Clicker input device and the base or hub receiver unit.The infrared (IR) system requires a student to point the clicker in a specific direction for the response to be received.The systems are limited by being one-way communication and are line-of-sight (between clicker and receiver). The IR versions are more expensive as well (http://itg.unl.edu/classroom/prs.shtml).
