Having them in my room makes it so much easier for me to have students bring their computers - we don't have to worry about someone forgetting their headphones, or having broken ones, etc. \r\n\r\nThe remote clicker has made using slideshows a lot more convenient for me. I don't have to rely solely on the touch screen aspect of the Clear Touch; when it glitches, I would have to go back and forth to my computer to go to the next page. The clicker works even when there are glitches!\r\n\r\nAnd having the extra ukulele strings has allowed me to replace strings on some of our ukuleles, so students don't have to share and take turns.
