New York, NY (PRWEB) October 02, 2015 -- In the first-ever higher education "gear of the year" guide, Campus Technology turned to hundreds of education professionals for honest input regarding EdTech products in 29 categories to crown the best solutions in the market.
Covering the gamut of technology from 3D printers to wireless access points, every category offered platinum, gold and silver picks to help educators create a short-list for product evaluations and fuel decision-making.
i>clicker, and its reputable technology was the first place winner in the student response system and classroom clicker category.

A thoughtful hybrid strategy allowing both mobile devices and clickers to be used alongside each other in the same classroom helps bridge the transition of technology adopted and supported at any institution.
REEF Polling, the mobile-optimized engagement system developed by the i>clicker team is gaining in popularity and is one of the main reasons i>clicker was chosen as the best solution in its category.
