We live in a smart world, don’t we? From smartphones to smart watches technology has indeed come a long way since the start of this millennium. Thus it was only a matter of time before technology made deep inroads into the world of education. We have already seen how PowerPoint and other audio-visual tools have added new dimension to education making classrooms livelier. Now it is the turn of a smarter technology that promises to make education more participative and smarter. Student clicker app is being seen as the next big thing in the world of education and everybody from teachers to students who have used them has been left impressed.

Increasing Learner Engagement

The biggest benefit of using student clicker apps in classrooms is the fact that they help in increasing learner engagement. Attention levels in classrooms tend to dip if the educator turns into a ‘talking head’ and when he or she encourages students to be a part of the discussions. On the flip side even the most passionate teachers find in difficult to encourage every student to take part in the discussion as there are students who shy away from participating. Student clicker app lets every student participate in the discussions thus benefitting everyone and motivating the teachers. Using these apps teachers can open up discussions by putting forward a question and seeking answers from the students. The fact that such questions involves and encourages every student to participate improves engagement levels in the classroom.

Measuring & Monitoring Progress

Measuring progress of the students and monitoring it on a regular basis is one of the core elements of education. This allows teachers to offer additional guidance to the students and at the same time assesses their own performances. Wireless student clickers help in this regard immensely. Tests can be conducted at will and every response submitted by the students in automatically reviewed to judge the performance of the students. These responses are also stored to allow educators to measure the performance of their students. Apart from this clickers also allow attendance to be recorded automatically which is a welcome relief for the teachers who for ages had to handle this manually.
