    This document discusses the use of clickers, or classroom response systems, in classrooms. It describes how clickers engage students, provide immediate feedback, and allow teachers to assess understanding. Clickers have been used in classrooms since 2000, with over 1 million response pads in use across many countries. Teachers benefit from clickers because they can gauge prior knowledge, pace lessons based on responses, and automatically record data and grades. Students benefit from the interactive nature of clickers and lower risk of embarrassment when answering questions.
