Clickers in the K-2 Classroom

Who says Clickers can only be for the upper grades?  Not me!  I started using Clickers with my five-year-olds on Week 2 of Kindergarten.  Only three of them can already read, but they all know A, B, C and 1, 2, 3.  This year I took extra time to make sure they really understood the backspace icon (curly arrow) vs. the enter icon (angular arrow).  Yes, that is a big set back if you don't take the time to frontload.  I started out slow by having them answer color questions as a group.  I use Power Point for CPS (v. 6.71 is the latest) to create all of my sessions because I can easily copy and paste images from Google into the slides.  My goal is to use Clickers with my students at least once a week for an informal assessment.  All day I lunch I heard, "When are we doing the remote things again?"  Have you tried in your room yet?
