**10 tips to get the most out of using clickers for instruction: **
//—Derek Bruff//
 * **Set Goals:** Set a learning goal for each question. Aim to engage students and spark discussion.
 * **Improvise:** Experiment with asking questions "on the fly."
 * **Be Judicious:** Use clickers less frequently for quizzes and attendance and more frequently to help students learn.
 * **Vary Questions:** Switch out the question types. Try application questions, critical thinking questions, student perspective questions, and monitoring questions.
 * **Create Engagement:** Keep students focused by having them respond every 10 minutes.
 * **Remain Patient:** Ask students for responses before listing possible answers.
 * **Encourage Debate:** Keep vote results secret until after the discussion if the tally is lopsided.
 * **Ask Why:** Push students by asking them to explain the reasons for their answers.
 * **Assess Your Class:** Do a postmortem of clicker sessions after class.
 * **Share Outcomes:** Share your experiences with colleagues.
