Allows teachers to collect responses quickly after asking questions in class Can be referred to as a `clicker` Can be useful for a teacher when quickly wanting to tabulate responses rather than having to wait a long time. A clicker is easily used in the classroom when all students possess one o	Students are differentiated by serial numbers of clickers (only the teacher knows what these numbers are) students however, do not possess this information so they do not know who is submitting to which answer o	Helps keep answers anonymous o	Refrains from students taking advantage and clicking for no reason, because ultimately the teacher can find out who submitted the answer. Teacher can ask a question in the form of: A multiple choice question •	A question that only has two points (a or b) or several choices •	The student can then make his or her selection Simply clicks the corresponding letter to the answer that they would like to choose The answers are transmitted •	The answers are recorded in the form of a graph and then projected on the screen (this saves the teacher time, as he or she does not have to no longer count the number of answers submitted for each letter. Also, the graph helps the visual learners visually see the different answers submitted) •	With the information gathered, the teacher can choose to lead the class in the direction in which he or she chooses •	Whether it be a warm up exercise, a discussion, an assignment or even a test to get the students to start thinking The clicker system is very useful when used in two ways: •	For the purpose of classroom engagement •	Assessment done by the teacher
