Plickers

Last year when common planning teams came through for technology training, one of the ideas we discussed was student response systems, of which Kahoot was the most popular. Here, I will mention another, Plickers, which is a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative assessment data without the need for student devices.

This free easy-to-use tool does require some answer cards for students to hold up but the teacher can collect all of the answers simply by scanning with his/her phone/tablet using an app. The app recognizes the cards and captures the answer that each student chose.

Feel free to contact me for help with getting started using Plickers. Here is a brief video that demonstrates the process:

    Plickers is super cool- a good formative tool, even for an opening, where you are trying to identify gaps in the previous day's learning.
