University of Science and Technology</a>, I am designing a clickers kit for a<br/>
high school chemistry one course. <span style=""> </span>(To find out more about “clickers,” read the brief explanation at the bottom of this letter)<span style=""> </span></p>
<br/>Currently, I’ve completed the first unit with descriptions of potential clickers activities for each of the chemistry concepts in unit one.<span style=""> </span> In addition to completing the other six
units, I will eventually include links from the “Instructional Activities”<br/><p class="MsoNormal">charts to actual clickers activities.</p>
<br/>Please check-out what I’ve done so far and let me know what you think.<span style=""> </span> While looking it over, try to
answer question one below and send me your comments.<span style=""> </span> If you have a science background, I would<br/><p class="MsoNormal">also appreciate it if you could give me feedback for the other questions as<br/>
well.</p>

<ol style="margin-top: 0in;" start="1" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Is the format “user-friendly,” and if not, what kinds of changes would you recommend to make the content easier to access?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">Do you think that the content is appropriate and/or adequate for a “Chemistry One Clickers Kit”?<span style=""> </span> If not, what changes<br/>
should be made?</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="">If you were going to use this kit to help you teach chemistry, what kinds of changes, if any, would you suggest?</li>
</ol>
Last, if you know of anyone else (especially high school chemistry teachers) that could help me, please forward this information to them.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><a style="font-style: italic;" name="clickers" id="clickers"></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Clickers</span> allow instructors to ask questions and gather students' responses during a lecture. (Clicker systems are also commonly called Classroom Response Systems, Student Response Systems,<br/>
or Audience Response Systems.)</p>
<br/>
<p class="MsoNormal">In clicker systems, each student uses a device (a "clicker") that looks like a TV remote to answer questions posed by the instructor in a specially-designed PowerPoint presentation. Summaries of<br/>
student responses can be shown in real time to both instructors and students.<br/>
Answers are also stored electronically for later viewing.</p>
