TLT has continued its Innovative Instruction Series, which highlights faculty who use technology in innovative ways, by interviewing David Desplaces, Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship, and Assistant Professor in the Management and Entrepreneurship department in the School of Business. David is an avid technology user and employs a number of different tools and applications into his curriculum. A technology tool that has become a mainstay for David over the past few semesters has been the use of audience response systems (aka clickers). By supplementing his classroom instruction with this device, he is able to better engage the students, and have every student participate when questions are asked. David uses Turning Technologies TurningPoint product but the ideas he shares in the interview would relate to any clicker product. Take a look at the interview (goo.gl/yxoTr) and see if audience response systems might work for you!
