These students also tended to agree that using clickers helped their learning and wished that more of their classes would use\u0026nbsp;them. Other students\u0026nbsp;considered using clickers less beneficial to their learning.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nWhat does it take to make clickers support student learning? How can we use them as an efficient means to identify and address students\u0026#39; misconceptions during class? How might we leverage the potential of clickers to facilitate learning activities that are often challenging to implement in large classes?\u0026nbsp;\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nIn this workshop,\u0026nbsp;we will share what our survey revealed about student perceptions of what could be done to help them learn with the use of clickers. In addition, several faculty from different disciplines who have extensive experience with using clickers will share their strategies and techniques. Please come and join your colleagues for a discussion on how to use clickers to challenge and engage students for better learning experiences and outcomes.\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ctl.gatech.edu\/lti\/worshops\/03282019\u0022\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFollow this link to register.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join us to explore strategies and techniques for using clickers to challenge and engage students.
