This was a good demonstration for the iClicker technology.

What a great idea to have the masks that we can see the person’s smile or frown, etc in order to help the teacher see if they are understanding the concept.
Campus scavenger and iclicker usage is interesting way to get involvement and to sync with gradebook.

This was a great demonstration for iClicker. I had no idea that the options had become so robust. I have long used exit polls by asking students to write down the ‘muddiest point’ for the days class was for them on index cards before they left the room. It is interesting to see a technological application of the same concept.
My concern would be for students affected by the digital divide. I have had students with no cell phone at all as well as students who were using older, low tech models. I have also have students with extremely slow internet connections and/or only one computer available per household.
