Edutopia – Dr. John Rich
“Teachers continually search for ways to increase engagement and comprehension in their classrooms. Audience response systems (ARS)—like clickers, for example—can be one tool for achieving those outcomes. ARS have been shown to increase student attendance, exam grades, final grades, attention, and engagement. A major objection to ARS is that the purchase of clickers and accompanying software can be cost-prohibitive. Opting for a free web-based tool like Poll Everywhere is one work-around.”(more)
