iClicker questions:

  • Most iClicker questions are only 2-3 minutes long.

  • Questions need to be frequent, challenging and well organized.

  • When 80% students have answered, give a 10 seconds warning. Then ask How many people need more time?

  • Keep tracking students’ answers on iClicker computer.

  • We suggest use two computers for class: one for Powerpoint slide and one for iClicker polling.
