M-2 Feedback to TPT Trial

I liked it - it forced me to be better about paying attention and not
letting myself get distracted.
I like using the clickers because they keep me engaged and thinking
about the material.
I liked it, especially the question that brought up the relevant M1
anatomy and the skin segment material. It would definitely help (at
least me) to have those sort of quick reviews about previous material
that coincides with the topic being taught.
I thought the clickers were great. I think it keeps things lively and
allows students who are too shy to talk in class a chance to
participate.
I would like more of it esp. if its M1 stuff to start thinking about for the
boards.
Loved it, thanks!
Worked okay. It would also be nice to have questions pertaining to
the newer material as reinforcement if possible.
Any Questions?
