They are kinda neat. It might be difficult to use them in church services. They can be distracting too. I have used those clickers in some of my college classes. They are kinda neat.

And, knowing this individual, I can also imagine him saying quite loudly during my sermon, "I keep hitting the GO button, but she just won't quit talking," or "Which one of these things controls the volume?"

You should probably give the shirt to Erik, because I don't even know what mudium means. If I win I would like an Extru lurge.

But I got caught up in the day-dream of how one might use these in worship...would you project questions about the sermon? "Is this sermon boring? click 1 for no, click 2 for yes, click 4 for not paying attention, click 5 for catching up on much needed sleep." Or what if you would poll the congregation about time spent each week studying the Bible or sharing a faith story? Clearly, there is an advantage to using a system like this. Maybe I'll put it on my Christmas list. It'd be a ho, ho, whole lot of fun! Cheers!

No, wait... Nothing says, "Youth Pastor" like a "free" Interactive Church polo shirt. Nothing says “cool” like an Interactive Church polo shirt….

No, wait…

Nothing says, “Youth Pastor” like a “free” Interactive Church polo shirt.

I use them in my youth ministry. Every week my students use them and love it! It's a great way to have fun and see where students are at in any given topic. Ok. I have to admit. This was a shameless plug from Tom's youth pastor...I hope I still qualify for the polo shirt. I love those interactive clickers. I use them in my youth ministry.

Now I've officially posted the best comment on this blog post. On a serious note, those clicky things were cool. I had actually used them the day before the NYMC at a seminar in my hometown on infant adoption. I felt like a rockstar because I knew the official name for the system was Turning Point, even though they had that name covered up with a sticker that said Interactive Church. I should have gotten a polo at the conference just for that! I'd buy them for my ministry if we weren't poor. It's a unique and fun way to engage your audience.
