CPS+'Clickers'

Classroom Performance System (commonly called 'the clickers') allows students to interact in real time with the lesson.

The system works in conjunction with powerpoint and the Notebook Software from SMART.

The 'clickers' can be used for:
 * Stimulating classroom discussion
 * Review Sessions
 * Assesment

The software is free, however quite useless without a bag of clickers (around $2000)

Some people complain that the learning curve is steep for setting up this software. You can visit my workshop wiki for a more complete rundown of how to use the clicker software and some lesson ideas on how to use them.
