Friday, January 16, 2009

Jack had the day off school (teacher development day), so he went off to a friend's house while I went to campus to teach my class. I've been trying to get set up with this fun audience response system in class, but it's been complicated trying to get all of it pulled together. Major setback when I found out the software wouldn't work on my mac and that it wasn't loaded on the PC in the lab where I teach. I'm hoping the IT people downloaded it per my request. But somehow I doubt they did. Oh well. I may have to go low tech. When Roger got home from work we headed up to REI in Sandy, then further north to another REI in Salt Lake in search of cross country skis (a Christmas present). Success! Jack joined us on our adventure, but had his nose in a book the whole time - the newest Diary of a Wimpy Kid came out this week.

You can bypass all those IT software requests or worrying about the clickers or the hardware and software by trying out Poll Everywhere (http://www.polleverywhere.com). Students just use any cell phone via text messaging or from any web-enabled device (iphone, desktop, laptop, etc.). Good luck!
