Book excerpt: Click Click Click Click. Phillipsport, Maine is a quaint and peaceful seaside village. But when hundreds of creatures pour out of the ocean and attack, its residents must take up arms to drive the beasts back. They are the Clickers, giant venomous blood-thirsty crabs from the depths of the sea. The only warning to their rampage of dismemberment and death is the terrible clicking of their claws. But these monsters aren't merely here to ravage and pillage. They are being driven onto land by fear. Something is hunting the Clickers. Something ancient and without mercy.

Download or read book Clickers in the Classroom written by David S. Goldstein and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With classroom response systems (or CRSs, also known as Student Response Systems, Individual Response Systems, or, informally, “clickers”) in use in higher education for some 20 years, there is now both ample research and a wealth of examples and ideas to draw on for faculty who are contemplating their use, or exploring new ways to integrate them in their teaching.The research demonstrates that, integrated purposefully in courses, the use of clickers aligns with what neuroscience tells us about the formation of memory and the development of learning. In addition, they elicit contributions from otherwise reticent students and enhance collaboration, even in large lecture courses; foster more honest responses to discussion prompts; increase students’ engagement and satisfaction with the classroom environment; and provide an instantaneous method of formative assessment.This book presents a brief history of the development of CRSs and a survey of empirical research to provide a context for current best practices, and then presents seven chapters providing authentic, effective examples of the use of clickers across a wide range of academic disciplines, demonstrating how they can be effective in helping students to recognize their misconceptions and grasp fundamental concepts.Like all pedagogical interventions, classroom response systems are no panacea, and the experienced contributors candidly describe avoidable pitfalls while demonstrating how clickers can deepen student learning and how, by providing instantaneous feedback, they enable teachers to make adjustments on the fly to better address student understandings or misunderstandings.The final chapter explores pros and cons of response systems that use mobile devices and smart phones, and the book concludes with an annotated list of further resources, such as books, articles, and videos.

Book excerpt: Since the prototype of clicker device was created and developed in 1990’s at Pennsylvania State University, there have been numerous arguments on its effectiveness. This book reveals a clear picture of studies on clickers and paves a solid foundation for future studies on the use of technologies in education. It is concluded that satisfaction is positively correlated with interaction, self-efficacy and self-regulation in clickers-aided EFL class without statistically significant gender differences. Learner attitude, technology anxiety, teachers’ prompt feedback, flexibility of Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class perceive usefulness and ease of technology and exert significant influence on learner satisfaction. The flipped business English writing classroom brings about better academic achievements and causes more satisfaction than the traditional one. Males are significantly more satisfied and achieved higher with Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class than females. Videos, initial EFL proficiency, learner attitudes and motivation could exert significant influence on EFL proficiency and learner satisfaction. The learning attitude, interest and intrinsic motivation are significantly and mutually correlated in both Clickers-aided EFL Flipped Class and the traditional class. The book is considered a wonderful exploration in the use of clickers in the EFL flipped class. Studies in this book are conducted in a cross-disciplinary manner and shows readers a fresh view.
