My Clickers are here!!!

At the end of last year I received a grant from Beyond Question for a student response set. It is basically a set of remote control looking things that the kids can use to answer questions I post using my teacher presentation station! It records their answers they give with their "clicker" and then it creates a grade report for me! Well the secretary told me today that they had come in!! I am SO excited!! The funny this is she was too, she wanted me to open it in the office so she could see what they look like LOL There is a receiver I have to attach to my computer, and some software I have to install and that's it, they will be ready for use. Hopefully there is a users manual on the CD because I have no idea how to set up the questions but I am sure I will figure it out! I can't wait to use it! I had to take my son to the doctor today so I didn't have time to do anything with it except to open the box and look at it. I am SO excited!!

Here are a couple pictures I snapped before I ran out the door - they are blurry iPhone pictures

  1. That is SO cool! I can't wait to see how you use that in your classroom. I think I need to get my grant writing on. :)

  2. Amanda, I can't wait to use them too. I have to really figure out what I want to do with them. As soon as I figure it out I'll post what I come up with LOL

  3. I'm so jealous! You can practically do anything with it! I had so much fun playing with those and the SmartBoard while in my classes at UCF lmao.

    I would just be happy to get a projector in my room - they still use overhead projectors.
