Recommendations to others considering iClicker:
I recommend that the iclicker device is chosen over the app on the phone. The app on the phone sometimes shuts down and is not as reliable as the iclicker. Do not drop the iclicker because it can break very easily since the plastic is not very durable Nd seems very cheap. The screen is very small and is not touch generated. Students cannot are questions or answers on the remote but only in the screen projected for the whole class. I also recommend that students pay for the iclicker ahead of time and register because this process may take long. Shipping may take a while for the Iclicker to come. The signal sometimes cannot reach all students so make sure that the signal is placed in an area without obstacles so that it can reach far. Make sure the signal is placed in a high position so it can reach students further in the back of the class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is iClicker solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving communication problems in a classroom setting and realized that the attention from my students have increased. I have also realized that besides students being more attentive, they are more interactive. I have also realized that students’ performances on quizzes and exams have dramatically increased because they have been more attentive in class. I am also solving the problem for students who are shy and afraid to speak up in class. The iclicker promotes inclusiveness and allows for everyone with an iclicker to participate. Students who have never spoken up in class before are receiving participation points for using the iclicker, which has shown to improve their overall grades and performance.
