Classroom clickers already out of date, MSU scholar says - John Schneider, Lansing State Journal
Regarding those classroom clickers I wrote about Wednesday, at least one fan of technology at Michigan State University isn't buying them at any price. In response to Wednesday's column, I heard from Ira David Socol, the College of Education's special education technology scholar. Socol, a graduate student, was unequivocal in his disdain for the gadgets. "The multiple clickers aren't just silly and wasteful," he wrote. "They are destructive to the goals the state of Michigan should have for MSU." Clickers are the informal name for Student Response Systems. They're hand-held gadgets that look like TV remote controls.
