"Grit is about working on something you care about so much that you're willing to stay loyal to it...it's doing what you love, but not just falling in love―staying in love.” (Duckworth, 2016)

#TechTipTuesday iClicker Cloud Setup

iClicker questions are great to poll your students in a synchronous classroom & break the flow of a lecture to bring back their attention. With iClicker Cloud instructors can now run iClicker questions straight from the Desktop app

[LFS Learning Centre @LFSLC]

iClicker Cloud can also be used in an online/hybrid classroom with Zoom. You need to share your entire screen instead of the individual application (powerpoint, PDF) for visibility of the iClicker Cloud poll online. Ensure your iClicker icon is located on the shared screen
