Today we worked with the clickers and socrative. I believe that this is a great tool to use in the classroom. I would assign students a specific clicker, so that I can use it as an attendance tool and a way to track the student's knowledge and participation. I don't plan on letting the students see the other students answer selections until everyone has answered and we go over it. I like the clickers better than socrative, since the students are able to change their answer. If I was doing a test, I could use the socrative program, since the students could do it at their own pace and correcting the tests will be easier. I would not use it for multiple choice group tests though.
Working with the different search medias, Google, Bing, and Altavista, I have found that it doesn't really matter what one my students choose. The three websites come up with pretty much the same results, just in different orders. The students can use which ever one they are most comfortable with. I will encourage them to try a different one, so they gain experience though.
I could use the activity on looking at different websites with my students also. They will be able to critically look at the different websites and differentiate which ones are creditable and which ones aren't.
