I recently asked my teachers how often they use clickers (one set available per school) and what would make it easier for them to use clickers more often.  Not surprisingly, TIME was the biggest factor.  Teachers need time to develop the lessons.  Hopefully this resource will help with that.  Pete’s PowerPoint Station is a great place to find PowerPoints that are already made and ready to download.  They can easily be used with clickers with very little prep.  If you are in my district and would like help connecting the PowerPoint you find or develop please let me or your ITS know.  We would be happy to help you with that step as well as implementing the lesson with your kids!

For those of you who work with SOCS you need to resize your images in order to put them on your site.  Here is an easy to use online tool to resize your images.

Once you are on the website you would browse and upload your picture.  Resize it to small.  Then you  save your image and on the left hand side you need to download the resized image.  You are then ready to put the resized image on your SOCS site.
