For example, when analyzing graphs, I can get a better sense of what the kids actually know, instead of how good of a guesser they are and they can give answers with magnitude and direction (a vector quantity). Also the kids were excited to use this option on the clickers and didn't have a problem with it because they are so used to texting on their phones.
