  • The benefits of active learning are widely acclaimed in higher education. According to Guthrie and Carlin,1 modern students are primarily active learners, and lecture courses may be increasingly out of touch with how students engage their world.

  • Clickers help instructors actively engage students during the entire class period, gauge their level of understanding of the material being presented, and provide prompt feedback to student questions.
  • Another benefit of clickers over traditional active learning methods is that they follow the principles of game-based learning.
  • Best Practices for Implementing Clickers in the Classroom*
  • The best way to help instructors is to provide mentoring and support from other instructors using clicker systems.

    Interesting study about the use of Clickers in the classroom.  This study does not show statistically significant differences between Clickers and Traditional Discussion but the perceptual survey indicates students prefer using the SRS system.

  • Presentation by Barbara Wilson of Allen ISD at the ESC10 technology conference in Richardson, Texas, today. Her session description was: "Geocaching is a fun activity for students that involves searching for hidden treasures, deciphering clues, and learning to use the Global Positioning System (GPS). Incorporating geocaching in your lessons will create a fun activity which will appeal to your students."

    This math activity gives links for the teacher to print out a wacky ruler and some wacky worms for students to measure. The ruler is wacky because students actually have to estimate some of the measurements. Students can practice skills in measurement and estimation. When students are finished measuring they can come up to the site and put in what they think each worm's length is.

geocaching GPS STEM geography

shared by Amy Boehman-Pollitt on 24 Jan 11 - Cached
  • Geocaching is an outdoor sporting activity in which the participants use a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver or other navigational techniques to hide and seek containers, called "geocaches" or "caches", anywhere in the world. A typical cache is a small waterproof container containing a logbook where the geocacher enters the date they found it. Larger containers such as plastic storage containers (tupperware or similar) or ammo boxes can also contain items for trading, usually toys or trinkets of little value. Geocaching is often described as a "game of high-tech hide and seek,"
