As an instructor, iClicker has been invaluable for creating an interactive classroom. The instantaneous feedback allows me to address misconceptions on the spot and adjust my teaching in real time. For example, when I finish explaining the difference between a change in demand versus a change in quantity demanded, I immediately run a multiple-choice question through iClicker. Within seconds, I can see exactly how many students grasped the distinction and how many are still confusing the two. If the results show widespread misunderstanding, I know right away that I need to pause and re-explain the concept with another example, rather than moving on prematurely. It has also noticeably boosted attendance, as students know their participation counts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That said, I've observed an unintended downside: some students become overly anxious about losing even the tiniest fraction of a point. This anxiety can distract from the learning itself, and I've had to consciously downplay the grading aspect to keep the focus on understanding rather than performance.
