Overwhelming evidence to show that students enjoy the teaching method. Creates positive and engaging learning environment. Careful selection of questions can effect in enhancement of performance

 Read discipline specific math research at response-system-clickers- bibliography/#math response-system-clickers- bibliography/#math  Math clicker resources Math clicker resources

 Set up multiple choice quiz at  Create PowerPoint with math questions which are clicker optimized.  Select math questions optimized for clicker from a clicker question bank (or create your own) such as s/materials.html#GQ or s/materials.html#GQ

 To keep time short, keep quiz and poll separate  Use one of two standard clicker pedagogies to manage the session (a) Individual students first poll and then group and discuss and if necessary revote (b) Groups discuss and vote, and instructor asks random members of group for justification and possible revote.

 Highly energized and engaged classroom  In all problems students eventually discovered the correct answer.  All students had cell phone packages except one.  Luckily the room had good cell phone coverage  Challenging questions provide best outcomes

 Student groups (or individual students) create twitter accounts (may be by unique names made for the class)  Download “Tweetdeck” or some other tweeet filter to the classroom computer  Link their cell phones to twitter /entries/  Select a section where multi stage planning is needed (Integration methods, Infinite series)

Facebook can be distracting and can negatively impact learning. Studies found that middle school, high school and college students who checked Facebook at least once during a 15-minute study period achieved lower grades ( Larry D. Rosen, PhD, professor of psychology at California State University, Dominguez Hills.) College students are texting frequently during class time, and that may interfere with their ability to pay attention and learn: Study involving 190 University of Pittsburgh students ( Fang-Yi Flora Wei0)
