electronic device used for in-class polling, quizzes, etc.
One iClicker can be used by a single student for any number of
classes at the same time and can be used again in future
semesters. Each student MUST have his/her own iClicker and will
need to bring it to class daily. iClickers can be resold and
registered to a different student in future semesters. iClickers are
available through the PC Bookstore for $40. The PC Bookstore
also has a rental program that allows students to rent the
clickers for less than purchasing. iClickers are available through Amazon.com for $34.51 new with
free shipping for students. iClickers are available
through Walmart.com for $34.50 with free delivery to your local
Walmart store. Used iClickers are available for less on
Amazon's marketplace or through ebay or other online sources.
I will base my class on the original iClicker or iClicker 1.
