This is a sweet idea that one of my colleagues found online that I've been fiddling with all morning! A neat way to quickly assess students through the use of multiple choice questions...
So, here's how this free site works. Sign up FOR FREE using an email address. Create a class and add your students. Print the cards. (Each kids receives their own card, and the cards look kooky...but by turning the cards, they create A, B, C, or D answers) The teacher downloads the plicker app to a phone or iPad. When asking questions, the teacher scans the room as kids hold up their individual cards. Immediately, the responses are graphed on the iPad! You can display the data and discuss or use it to drive instruction!
Kiddos hold up their individual cards. Directionality determines their answer choice.
Cards!
Immediate results!
This seems like an awesome way to motivate students and act as a GREAT formative assessment tools for teachers! I'm trying it this week!
Wow! This looks so neat. :) Thanks for sharing.

DeleteWhat??!! I use the A, B, C, D, cards for a quick assessment, but to scan the room to get real data?? Amazing idea! Thanks so much for sharing-I will definitely have to use this!
