Preparing to use Clickers in your classroom takes time and adjustment. We recommend that you take the introductory training in the semester previous to the one in which you want to implement clickers. We have scheduled the sessions to accommodate this model. Should you want to learn on your own, you can go use online training provided by TurningPoint. You should/must, however, also look at the ISU recommended settings and helpsheets to ensure proper functionality on campus.
These are held during the week before classes start. It gives you a chance to practice your presentation with a receiver and a trainer available to help you troubleshoot your presentations.

The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) has insitutes in the Fall, Spring, and Summer. There is generally a Clicker session included in the schedule. This all-day workshop includes both hands-on intro training and pedagogical best practices. Look to the CTLT website for the most current postings on these institutes.
Free on-demand training is available directly from TurningPoint. Click here to access the TurningTechnologies scheduling web page.
Sarah Walczynski will be coordinating all training opportunities in conjunction with the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology. Contact clickers@ilstu.edu for any additional support.
