What is Plickers?
Plickers is an interactive assessment tool that allows for immediate data. Plickers gives teachers a way to assess while teaching so that they can immediately fix the problems that the students are having.
How does it work?
Plickers allows teachers to create individual cards for each student to record their answer. All the student has to do is hold their card so that their answer choice is on top and then the teacher quickly scans the room with the app and it magically records all of their answers. The cards are a pattern based so students can't cheat or feel intimidated. The code ensures that the students won't feel embarrassed, so participation is increased and that the teacher sees easily who is struggling.
Here's an example of what the cards look like-
