Suggestions
(
Derek Bruff,
Teaching with Classroom Systems
, 2009)1. Consider the following questions when drafting clicker questions:
•
What student learning objectives do I have for the question?
•
What do I hope to learn about my students by asking this question?
•
What will my students learn about each other when they see theresults of this question?
•
How might this question be used to engage students with coursecontent in small-group or classwide discussions or by creating a timefor telling?2. Look for answer choices for potential clicker questions in studentresponses to open-ended questions, ones asked on assignments inprevious courses... This can lead to answer choices that better matchcommon student misconceptions and perspectives.3. Use a variety of types of clicker questions.4. Experiment with asking on-the-fly clicker questions.5. Use clickers for purposes other than quizzes and taking attendance.
