"Today we are going to use Plickers!" My students looked back at me with confusion as I passed out barcodes with A, B, C, and D labeled around the outside of the code. Basically, Plickers uses a QR/Barcode system for students to submit answers to multiple choice questions. The awesome thing is that by using an app on my phone or other device, I can quickly sweep the room and conduct a fast formative assessment. The immediate feedback allows me to alter my instruction to meet the needs of my students.
Plickers is FREE and you can print the cards. If you want more durable ones, plastic cards can be ordered on Amazon. With a free account you can ask up to 5 questions at a time (in a PowerPoint type slideshow). If you want the ability to do more, you can pay a small monthly fee.
This amazing post by Laura Candler gives many different innovative ways that Plickers can be used in the classroom.
