Plickers 2.0
An Easy to Use Student Response System
How to Use Plickers in the Classroom
Why Should You Use Plickers?
Plickers is a FREE app that can be used on any IOS or Android operating system developed by Nolan Amy. Students will receive a card that has a number on it and the answer choices A, B, C, and D. Teachers can print these free at plickers.com as many times as they need. The teacher will use her smart phone or tablet to scan the class cards and begin to immediately see student responses pop up on the screen. The student simply has to hold the answer choice they choose at the top of their card. This wonderfully simple activity can be used for pre-assessments, checks for understanding, polls or class surveys, tickets out the door, etc. Plickers is a great way to infuse technology into your classroom to make a teacher's life easier.
What's NEW!!!
Library
You can now type full questions into the web version of Plickers or straight into the app and plan them for your classes. You can plan different questions for different classes or assign the same question multiple times for pre- and post-test assessment data.
Great for All Ages
Plickers can be used with even the youngest of elementary classes. You can print off the larger plicker cards and write the answers on the back of the card as shown. They love plickers from Kindergarten all the way to adults.
