<p>The local Big U uses clickers in their large science lecture classes. The teacher will put up a question on the board and the students will click in an answer.</p>
<p>When I have lost a library book, I bought a good used copy online, the library accepted it as a replacement & it was cheaper than paying the library’s replacement cost.</p>
<p>She might see if that is an alternative. Just do a search by Isbn.</p>
<p>I always feel that if my students had clickers in a large science lecture, they would all be pointing them at me and clicking, trying desperately to change the channel!</p>
<p>I would have been really annoyed in cptofthehouse’s position. </p>
<p>I don’t know how a student loses a library book, but sad to say, I know from experience that it is possible.</p>
<p>I work at a community college and we charge $45 for loss of one of our own books, but charges can go up to $120 for books that we get through inter-library loan from other campuses. Library books require a lot of processing which is why the charge is over the market rate. Students, be careful with those books! In the not so distant future, once e-books become more ubiquitous, this will become a moot point.</p>
<p>westie22, I use these with my students when I give quizzes on the smart board. We pass out our clickers in class, but my children, at their colleges, usually bought the remote (can cost around $60) and used them for several years in their classes. They are most commonly used in science courses. My D, who was pre-med, used hers frequently. What I like about the process is that I can immediately access whether the students understand what I am teaching when, and I can correct any misconceptions for those with the wrong answers.</p>
<p>The age of technology is truly amazing. Now that my D is in med-school, you should see the Apps on the I-Pad that they use for anatomy and note taking!</p>
<p>Ooo–tell us which ones they use for note taking.</p>
<p>When I was a kid my dog chewed on the copy of Charlotte’s Web that I’d taken out of the public library. I had to pay to replace it. I don’t recall how much but it seemed like an extraordinary amount to an elementary school kid (it was a hard copy). I can still picture the book with a tan cover and chewed corner binding. And I cringe when I think of the story I used to really like.</p>
<p>ellemenope, sorry, but I don’t have the name of the App. She just showed it to me when she came home recently. The apps actually produce pictures of the body on one side and your notes on the other in a 3 x 5 index card size that you then print out. Amazing.</p>
<p>clickers are also used for attendance.</p>
<p>Does anyone know about another kind of clicker ,used in dog training classes instead of a food reward ? I tried to get my husband to respond to the clicker ,but I was unsuccessful .</p>
