Plickers In the Classroom
It's a picture clicker!
What is it?
It is a website & app combo that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without students needing to have a device.
How is it Used?
Plickers can be used as quick checks for understanding from students. Simply type in a multiple choice and true/false questions on the website or app, pull out your phone or iPad and ask students to respond using their Plicker cards.
Why it's Equitable and Awesome!
- It gives ALL students the opportunity to respond because all they need is their card, no phone or other expensive device needed.
- It eliminates embarrassment for getting questions wrong while still letting the teacher know who's getting it and who's not.
- No waiting for students to log in or needing to set up; simply pull up the app, have students pull out their cards and go!
