More Ideas for Using TurningPoint...

Having students respond with clickers breaks the social barrier of knowing or not knowing the

“right” answer

Clickers are a great way to reset students’ clock. They pay attention for about 10 minutes, so

inject a clicker question every 10 minutes or so to keep them on track!

Use TurningPoint Anywhere to float over online games such as “Are you Smarter than a Fifth

Grader?”

Capture images with a document camera and use them to create image slides

Use to survey student opinions on the teaching methods and teaching effectiveness in the class-

room

Use the word scramble and comparative slide features as ice breakers, to prompt discussion, or

to mix up your lectures!

Clickers can be a great way to facilitate group discussions. They will practice essential skills

such as decision-making and thought expression, then report back to discuss with the class via

the clickers.
