What are your thoughts on using clickers in the elementary classroom? Yea, nay, or dependent upon the situation? Personally, I'm on the fence! I can't decide if it's age appropriate and genuinely engaging for younger students.

It depends. I think if you can explain to elementary students on how to use them, then sure. It gives students something to do with their hands. Plus, keeps them engaged with the activity. I would use Clickers to an elementary classroom

It depends, I think that it should mainly be used for older students who would be able to work them easily, but if you are using it for a very basic lesson you might be able to use it in the elementary classroom.

Clickers are use able in some of the older grades, however

I think giving young children iclickers would hinder their ability to pay attention in class. Because of their age, they might not understand that the clickers are only for educational purposes.
