I just came back from the Clicker Conference at the Univ. of Louisville and now have a lot of great ideas to digest, then apply to my own teaching. 

One of the many great things I experienced at the conference was Tim Stelzer's talk, during which he used a little program to pull clicker data into a little spreadsheet that appeared in his slide and used it to pull out the clicker IDs with the highest score for the session, then randomly select one of those for a "fabulous prize." 

I'm not sure whether I'd ever use that particular little applet, but I'd sure like to know HOW one does such a thing.

Does anyone out there have any resources for making such tools?  Or, are these things that can be easily copied and used by others?  If that's possible, maybe i>clicker could host a wiki or other forum to which folks could post their applets?

Cheers,

Hi Kevin, it's Sarah Martin from i>clicker!  Sorry I didn't get to meet you at the Louisville Conference...thanks for your idea for hosting a wiki/area where we can post applets.  I'm investigating now and will let you know what I found out!  Thanks again...

Hi Sarah.  Did anything ever happen with the wiki post applets idea?  Also, do you have Tim's 'topclicker score excel macro" for PC available? I just started using iclickers this week during my summer course and I'm looking for innovative ideas....the idea of 'the topclicker of the day' prize might be a good one I'd like to try.
