Ms. Borsa's class used the Radio Frequency Classroom Response System, commonly known as clickers, to help students review for a test. One student said "This is the best lesson we've ever done Ms. Borsa!" The students do enjoy the competition and it really helps them get ready while using something they have all had available since birth, computer technology.
