I love teaching with my
SmartBoard. I use it at every opportunity and whenever I'm in a classroom or a lab without one I miss it more than ever. I've dabbled with using the
SmartResponse system that is also available for the SmartBoard.
The most of boys LOVE using the clickers. There are some who are a bit unnerved by the technology -- a surprise to me. They especially love seeing the immediate feedback. There is a surprising bit of learning how to respond while using the clicker that must happen before really getting any meaningful feedback.
We used it for an assessment for the first time last week. I think the assessment took longer to complete using the clickers. There also seemed to be a lot of waiting, especially since we can only move forward as fast as the slowest student. I'm not too sure I liked that.
I'm hoping that with regular use we will all be better at using the clickers and this new technology with be clicking with us!
