What is Plickers?
Plickers? For Real? Yes! The title sounds strange enough but this is a fabulous tool that requiresONE device: iPad or iPhone. Plickers allows to collect real time assessment data without student devices. This is accessible for Kindergarten through 5th grade! Students must be able to identify the letters A, B, C and D to use their card. For grades K/1 the teacher would probably need to read the questions and answers to the class.
Why I love it?
1. One device needed for the teacher. No student devices needed.
2. This is great when you cannot get the cart in your room.
3. Great for formative assessment (exit tickets, in class checkpoints, etc)
4. Fun!
What other teachers have to say?
"Great app for classroom teachers where kids don't have devices of their own. Fantastic formative assessment tool that allows teachers to immediately determine student understanding in the moment."
"As a teacher who has large class says, this helps assess student knowledge quickly and efficiently."
Interesting Websites I Have Come Across
ImageQuiz - This is still a new tool. It uses pictures to guide students through learning. Upon clicking start, terms appear and the test taker must click on the appropriate part of the picture. I found some interesting quizzes for Math, Biology, Geography, Physics and Spanish. You can create your own as well!
These would be great review items for students.
