Tip for Keynote users: In order for the i-clicker menu bar to float over your presentation, be sure Keynote is set to allow other programs to share the screen. In the Keynote Preferences menu, please follow the below steps:
New upgrade! By default, the i-clickerfloating menu bar appears in the top left hand corner of your screen. However, if you move the bar, the system will now remember its placement and retain the new location until you change it again—for the rest of the session and from session-to-session. This new feature gives you more flexibility to organize and design your questions (or slides) so that the floating menu bar never obstructs your question text or images.

Tip: You can easily enable the major functions of i-clickerwithout having to stand near your computer by using the instructor’s remote feature. This makes it easy to move around the room and lecture while still using i-clicker. See page 37 for instructions on enabling this function.
Tip: Students can turn on their i-clickers and vote any time while a question is active (i.e. as long as you’ve selected Start to begin polling) by pressing the On/Off button on the remote. We recommend students keep their remotes on during the lecture. (This is particularly important if a frequency other than the default AA is in use. More details regarding this on page 34.) The remotes will automatically shut off after 90 minutes of inactivity to save battery power.
