the classroom of the future

"Do clickers add anything to the classroom?"
Kids are so enthused they'll even skip recess

but apparently this high tech gadgets can be of use to students who are far beyond recess... these systems can and are being used "from grade school to grad school."

here's how it works:
"The wireless hand-held remotes let students send answers to multiple-choice questions, with the click of a button." the system consists of 20 to 30 clickers (depending on class size), a reciever, software, a computer, a projector, and a screen

they're a little pricey but it sounds like a good way to get this tech-crazy generation involved. i wish they had this type of thing when i was still in school...
