ECC clickers

Clicker models

• ECC has standardized on the newer RF-LCD clicker, the older RF clicker (also available in Braille!), and XR clicker both manufactured and distributed by Turning Technologies.

Batteries

• Batteries for the RF and RF-LCD clickers are 3 volts (3V) CR2032 batteries. You'll need 2 batteries for each clicker, and batteries cost approximately $2 each.The XR clicker uses standard AAA batteries.

Equipment you will need to use clickers

• To use the clickers you will need a computer with the software installed. Most people also like to project what is on the computer screen to the audience/class, although that is not necessary.
• If you don't have a computer or projector or if you wish to use clickers without a computer or projector, that is possible using the ResponseCard Anywhere (specifications page). We don't have these at ECC yet, but they can be ordered for $99 + tax + shipping.
• Turning Technologies also has the ability to turn any internet-enabled device (computer, cell phone, etc) into a clicker. This is called ResponseWare. Again, this is not currently available at ECC, although if you're interested in pursuing this option, contact me.
