Plickers in the Classroom

Have you heard of Plickers yet?  They are printable "clickers" that teachers can use to collect student data using only ONE device (a smartphone or tablet).  The teacher simply has the app on the device and the website on a computer.  The students hold their "plickers" in different directions to answer A, B, C, D (or True/False).  Obviously, this isn't earth-shattering and is only using multiple choice, but multiple choice can be great for quick formative assessments to guide instruction.  This simple technology allows teachers to immediately get feedback from students and alter instruction accordingly!

Need a better idea of what this is? Annette Sapp has created a great YouTube video showing instructional use. See it below.


Here are some basic technical steps I created to help teachers use Plickers:

  1. Please let me know if you’re looking for a article writer for your site. You have some really great posts and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d absolutely love to write some material for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested. Thank you!
