Making It Click: Using An Audience Response System To Engage Students And Assess Learning, Ann Marie Smeraldi
Ann Marie Smeraldi
As accessibility to technology in the classroom increases and promises to improve student engagement and performance, it is easy to be tempted into using wikis, blogs and clickers without fully understanding the implications of their use. Librarians and other educators continuously experiment with new technologies in an attempt to lure Millennials away from their iPods and cell phones, but without careful consideration of the pedagogy that supports the use of these new technologies, their effectiveness as learning tools is diminished.

This has profound implications in terms of academic content, knowledge generation, who benefits from the projects and accumulated knowledge gained from field service, and the global citizen responsibilities of the home university in terms of fair intellectual property and labor.
