Bozzo, G. – Physics Teacher, 2020
As soon as children can see, they observe that objects fall freely. From a young age, we spontaneously construct interpretative models to understand this everyday phenomenon. Over the last three decades, numerous experiments have been developed to help students understand physics concepts regarding free fall. Although there are many…

Walgren, Jay – Physics Teacher, 2011
More and more physics instructors are making use of personal/classroom response systems or "clickers." The use of clickers to engage students with multiple-choice questions during lecture and available instructor resources for clickers have been well documented in this journal. Newer-generation clickers, which I refer to as classroom response…

Lasry, N. – Physics Teacher, 2008
A growing number of physics teachers are currently turning to instructional technologies such as wireless handheld response systems--colloquially called "clickers." Two possible rationales may explain the growing interest in these devices. The first is the presumption that clickers are more effective instructional instruments. The second rationale…
