Instructions on How to Integrate Clicker Technology
1. First, make sure that you have downloaded the software. If not click on this link to access the software CPS Software Package  2. Next, create questions in Powerpoint (as powerpoint software is automatically sinked into your Smartboard software) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> 3. With Clicker (CPS) software installed, plug in clicker receiver into USB port (round spaceship device) <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> 4. Once device is recognized by the program, proceed and open the CPS software package. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> (Thanks to Liz, her instructions are much better than anything I would have come up with). <span style="color: #39066a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I like this technology as a way of engaging students and getting a quick poll. Click here to read about how I used them during the first practicum.

Of course there is always the option to pay for more features but it allows for 30 participants without payment.

<span style="color: #08ff00; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**[|Suvery Monkey]** <span style="color: #39066a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">This is a tool for creating surveys online. Using the free plan you can create surveys with up to 10 questions. <span style="color: #39066a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I would use this to create a survey to get to know students or to find out their prior knowledge but not for testing!

<span style="color: #39066a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">More computer software. We tried out some applications using this to learn about adding integers, the Pythagoras Theorem, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle and more. I found it very useful for teaching these concepts and there are many more possibilities! <span style="color: #39066a; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> [|GSP Activities]
