The iclicker is an audience response system that is being used in classrooms around the globe. It's not only an easy
way to take attendance efficiently with a large group of people, but also is a convenient and environmentally
friendly way to take multiple choice tests or in-class quizzes. Results can also be displayed directly after the answers are sent in, making it easy to know how you did in comparison
to the rest of the class. It allows interactions between teachers and students, keeps the class alert, and
encourages participation.
