Clickers in Pre-K?

How can you get your students engaged in taking a quiz or test that they actually want to take? Put a clicker in their hand... their remote to the mind. Sounds great, but how will it work for my kids, you wonder. Are you gearing up for TAKS practice? Are you looking for the drill without the kill? Try checking out a set of CPS clickers from the library and setting up your next quiz in the program for students to use. You will not only have your students wanting to do the "paper/pencil" worksheet first so that they can put their answers into the clickers, but you will also get:
- a chance to give students immediate feedback on quizzes and assessments
- an assignment that is graded for you to go right into your gradebook
- brownie points from your ITS and administrators
- a room full of students that want to do their best
