Teachers and Students click on feedback method

This article points out the positives and negatives of a CPS system. I think it would be big fun to use them in a classroom! It would make me pay attention, and I think students need to be more interactive. I do think the use of a CPS system could be overdone. I liked the response of Karen Hill who said she is working on ways to make the students use their higher-level thinking skills when using the CPS system. I have seen one teacher use them for discussion in a sociology class and it works well. With 90-minute classes, I think using tools like these are a must if you are to hold the student's attention and keep them excited.
