chicago618: And was it uphill to school both ways? :-)

I agree with chicago. Basically, there are some very VERY stupid people who think this will be the next "thing" . Unfortunately, sone students and teachers are stupid also so these things will sell. I lost hope in the future.

Clickers shmickers. In my day we had a chalk board. Our hands were our clickers. The professor would ask the questions and we answered by raising our hands. If we got it wrong he would scold us in front of the classroom to the point of tears, and we liked it!
