> response) so I can't immediately call on the teams to explain their
> choice. One thing in John's email yesterday caught my eye - he

> answers as well as submitting responses with clickers. But for some of
> my questions, there are as many as 7 or 8 possible responses so I'd
> have to make a lot of cards (and I worry a bit that reducing to just
> four or five answer choices would make things too easy). My current
> solution is to randomly select a team and ask them to say which
> response they chose and explain why they thought that was the BEST
> answer  - and mostly, the other teams will then chime in. But if
