Sidney Tyrrell is a National Teaching Fellow who has frequently experimented with technology when teaching. Imagine her surprise to find technology (a mouse) that worked first time every time in whatever room with whatever PC, revolutionised her classroom approach to teaching, and cost only approximately £100.
Participants were invited to try out the gyro mouse with the long long range during this talk not on mice but on interactive voting systems. Have they a place in our lectures? Are they worth the effort and what could they offer us? Participants voted on this and other issues using the Turning Point interactive voting system, portable enough to port from Coventry under one arm, for the occasion.
