  1. Methods
  2. General:
  3. Books:
  4. By subject
    1. Mathematics:
    2. Science: 
      1. Astronomy, Physics, etc:
      2. Biology, etc:
      3. Physics:

Methods

  1. Facilitating peer instruction
  2. Formative assessment with on the fly questions
  3. Reviewing
  4. Testing

General:

Vanderbilt Center for Teaching: "Teaching with a CRS" web site: http://www.vanderbilt.edu/cft/resources/teaching_resources/technology/crs.htm     Has good information as well as links to other sites.

 

Books:

  1. "Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works", Pritter et al, http://tinyurl.com/5ccw22.  Pages 45-49 are on using response systems
  2. Using Clickers in the Classroom
  3. Derek Bruff's book: "

By subject

Mathematics:

  1. Resources for Classroom Voting in Mathematics

  2. Cornell University Mathematics Department's GoodQuestions Project: http://www.math.cornell.edu/~GoodQuestions/.  "The Cornell University Mathematics Department's GoodQuestions Project has developed and made available a set of multiple-choice GoodQuestions, checks of student understanding for use with a CRS during introductory calculus classes. (Description taken from Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching - Above).
  3. Great paper: "Asking good questions in the mathematics classroom" by Maria Terrell, Cornell University "

 

Science: 

Astronomy, Physics, etc:

Duncan, D. "Clickers in the Classroom: How to Enhance Science Teaching Using Classroom Response Systems." (72 pages, about $15 with shipping from Pearson). Duncan "describes his experience using a CRS in his astronomy classes and provides advice for teachers interested in using CRSs [Classroom Response Systems] in their classes."  Highly recommended for all educators including K-12 teachers & administrators.  Duncan's web site. 

Biology, etc:

"Dee Silverthorn of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin uses a CRS in her upper level vertebrate physiology class. [Dr. Silverthorn has created a] series of well-produced QuickTime videos in which Professor Silverthorn describes her experiences with a CRS. The videos [here] also show a CRS in action."   (Description taken from Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching - Above). 

Physics:

Read Mazur and Hake's papers on Peer Instruction in physics and their long work with SRS.
