Technology Tools for the Classroom
Joseph Geissler
Overview
Clickers
Mobi Tablets
Clickers and Reporting
• Clickers
– Hand held tools distributed to students
– Answers can be yes or no, true or false, multiple
choice, short answer
– Questions can be active or quiz style
• Reporting
– Student attendance
– Student participation
– Student progress
– Class progress
Clickers for Learners
• Active Learning
– Not focused on getting all the notes before they
are erased from the board
Clickers for Learners
• Active Learning
• Feedback
– Real-time feedback
• Was I right or wrong?
– Post-lesson detailed feedback
• Which questions did I answer right? Which did I answer
wrong?
Clickers for Learners
• Active Learning
• Feedback
• Merge sessions for an individualized review
– From the Chapter 5 sessions, which topics do I
know and which do I need to spend more time
on?
Summary of Clickers for Learners
• Active Learning
• Feedback
• Merge sessions for an individualized review
Hand-Held Mobi Tablets
• Mobi Devices
– Promotes student participation
– Most powerful educators hands
– Multiple tables can be used for student
engagement

Mobi For Instructors
• Mobility
• Classroom management
– Are any students sleeping?
– Are any students on cell phone?
– Are students actively
taking notes?
Are any students progressing ahead of
the class?

Review Results
1) Can be viewed actively via teacher mobi unit
2) Post-activity assessments and reports
– Responses can be saved and sessions can be
merged
– Can be viewed as a class or for individual students
– This can be an effective tool to track student
progress
Annotate Documents with Mobi
1) Submitted reports or presentations
2) Annotate live during lesson presentation
The following is a presentation on
cellular respiration presented to
Senior Biology students at Science

Energy Source
• Autotrophs
– Plants, algae, and many bacteria
• Heterotrops
– Animals, fungi and many bacteria
• Aerobic vs Anaerobic
– The presence of oxygen vs the absence of oxygen

Electron Transport Chain
Cyclic Processes
ATP Synthase
The ATP Synthase is an enzyme which generates ATP by combining ADP
and Pi.
ATP synthase + ADP + Pi → ATP Synthase + ATP
This protein is powered by the movement of H+ down its
electrochemical gradient.
Are found in both the stroma of chloroplasts and the inter-membrane
space of mitochondria.
