Support from other students
Appropriate for first day, or after first day of use of PI.
Clarifies the difference in (possibly less valued) use of “clickers” versus peer instruction (with discussion)You may want to use some student support slides n the first day, and sprinkle others at the beginning of lecture as you go along. (say one per week for the first 3-5 weeks).Slide4
Clickers vs. Peer Instruction
Discussion with your peers is KEY!
Testing yourself can help you know if you know itBut LEARNING happens during the discussion!1) Individual Thinking, Vote
2) Group Discussion (with 1-2 other students)3) Group VotePre-Class preparationQuiz/Incentive/Feedback
Class-wide discussion Student-led/Instructor Modeling/Mini-lecture Slide5
Students say discussion is helpful…
It really makes
you realize exactly what mistakes you are making and sometimes you don’t feel as bad if you are wrong because you can see that fellow classmates think the same way.Discussion is really helpful as sometimes when you get lost in other classes, you are lost for the rest of the lecture.
Discussion and clicker questions help make students realize when they are getting confused before it is too late and the discussions with classmates helps get us back on track*From an upper division computer science courseSlide6

It’s not just YOU!
Clickers allow one to
see what other classmates are thinking. As there is often the situation where everyone has the same question, but are afraid to ask. Once we see that everyone is thinking the same way, and it is wrong, the fear is removed and people can speak up and learn. Slide8
Find out if you are lost
Before it’s too late!
Clickers are nice to have because of the immediacy of the response. Personally when I submit an assignment or a test, I don't care what I got on it or where I went wrong, and it's difficult to put myself back in the mindset I had when I made the mistake. Clickers let you know almost immediately whether your line of reasoning is flawed or not.Slide9
2-Slide Sequence
Just the second slide can be used, if you just want to “say” the material from the first slide.Slide10
Couldn’t you PLEASE just tell it to me?
I know how to learn from lecture!
Can’t you just explain it?Well, clickers were fun, but the professor made me learn it on my own! It would have been easier if he’d just lectured!Slide11
Learning Requires Your Effort
I can’t do the learning for you
Higher-level learning = brain development
It’s like muscle development!Strenuous, repeated effort ->New Muscle CellsStrenuous, repeated effort ->New Neurons, Links!
