As the break-neck velocity at which development of digital engineering proceeds to come about, and reckoning that my November 27, 2007 blog post titled "Polling by Cell Phone - Can We Completely By-Pass Clickers?" is presently my most viewed station, I determined to share an update touching the usage of a cell telephone, and now even an iPod Touching, as a clicker.
Thanks to my Chirrup web, particularly @dougpete , I was done cognisant of a recent announcement made by Turning Technologies
that they are doing available a free iPhone/iPod Touch app that will let users to instal their clicker package to a educatee 's iPhone/iPod Touching, thence integrating the ability to canvas pupils utilizing their response system package on a nomadic device that pupils already possess. A speedy visit to their site besides revealed that Turn Technologies too holds a version of their package available for Blackberry and Windows Mobile devices. A powerful mode to incorporated devices educatees already hold without the cost of buying clickers and the jobs of storage and the aging of equipment.
I verbalise a representitive of Turn Technologies at most recent ECOO conference and while I ca n't think the exact costs of their service, I make recollect it to be really sensible. To boot, I likewise remember their service being entirely web based so that educatees without a compatible nomadic device can still participate in a canvvas by inputing their responses from a computer.
While I am definitely not pleadging my support for any one marque, I am spotlight Turn Technologies as an instance of what is already possible and that it is not necessary, despite what other traffickers ( who will rest unidentified ) state us, to buy correctitude hardware in order to take vantage of clicker engineering in the schoolroom. Buying justly the service and furnishing pupils the ability to instal the app on their iPhone, iPod Touching, Blackberry or Windows Mobile device is a much inexpensive choice that lets educatees to utilise their parents ' invesment for larning.
