I use iClicker (iclicker.com) -- and I'm in love with it! As are my students. I just asked my class if they could pick between two classes where the only difference was that one used clickers and one didn't, which would you pick: A. Clicker class, B. Non-clicker class, C. No preference. Results: A. 22, B. 0, C. 3. If you're going to NITOP, stop by the Worth booth. I'll be there with some examples of how I use the system in class. -- Sue Frantz Highline Community College Psychology Des Moines, WA 206.878.3710 x3404 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://flightline.highline.edu/sfrantz/ -- Office of Teaching Resources in Psychology Assistant Director, Project Syllabus http://www.lemoyne.edu/OTRP/projectsyllabus.html <http://www.lemoyne.edu/OTRP/projectsyllabus.html>
