    @ryanbretag Quick input from students. I think what matters is what you do AFTER the "click" that counts. #focusascd

    @ryanbretag As far as I can tell, they are mostly used for multiple choice, low-level answers. Fun, but not so useful.

        @ryanbretag maybe more audience engagement, but for how long? Depends on the role of the 'lecture'. More thinking and creating? #focusascd

    @ryanbretag clickers get kids engaged, instant feedback, more students involved, data to analyze easily #focusASCD

    @ryanbretag we use clickers and google forms fairly regularly to check for understanding. Quick spreadsheets of data for individualization

    @ryanbretag The novelty and variety wears off quickly...gets down to the quality of the quick check/formative assessment #focusascd
