When I first arrived at Teesside, some people had been looking at investing in clickers, but somehow they’ve never taken off. We’ve seen a few different products over the years, and had a rather frustrating discussion with one company last year who bizarrely didn’t seem to want to send us a salesman, but we’re going to have a serious attempt to get some clickers out and about in classrooms this coming session. There’s an interesting article about them here, but hopefully some closer-to-home colleagues will be doing an E@T Lunch on the uses and effects. If you’d like to get involved with a trial, let us know.
