USABILITY
Plickers is fantastic for test review. You receive immediate feedback and can re-teach concepts that do not appear to be mastered.
The time in class is extremely fast. As the camera scans, it is recording the data
Benefits are fun quiz for students,and immediate feedback on assessment. Using Plickers to poll your students instead of asking them to raise hands to indicate if they "get it" or not allows students to reply anonymously by holding up their cards. Have all students hold up their cards at the same time, scan them, and see the results. Students won't know who said they "got it" or not because each code is unique to each student
Steps For Integrating Plickers:
Choose the tab labeled classes at the top of the page and type in your class roster. It will assign all your students to an individual plicker. You can add additional classes and students later as well.
Choose the tab on the website labeled cards to print out the students plickers. I strongly suggest printing the cards on cardstock so that they are more durable. Also, I do not suggest laminating the plickers because it will be hard for the tablet or smart phone device to recognize the cards due to glare.
Choose the library tab to create questions. Responses can be either in multiple choice or true/false format. Select the correct response(s) for each question and click the tab labeled add to plan below each question to attach it to the appropriate class you have already created.
If you have a computer connected to a smart board, projector, or apple tv in your classroom and are connected into your plickers account. Then, select the live view tab on the website to display the question and answer choices for the students.
