Plickers
Every teacher. Every period. Every day.
What is it?
A "low tech" tool to transform classroom instruction.
Plickers is a FREE app that can be used on any IOS or Android operating system. 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 a smart phone or tablet to scan the class cards and begin to immediately see student responses pop up on the screen. The students hold the answer choice they choose at the top of their card. This can be used for pre-assessments, checks for understanding, polls or class surveys, tickets out the door, checking guided practice, grading homework, etc.
Plickers is for Kindergarten to AP Calculus.
Every teacher. Every period. Every day. Period.
