Plickers

Want a fun way to assess your students and get instant results? Use PLICKERS!

Plickers is a FREE tool that allows you to collect assessment.

How to get started!

• Visit plickers.com and sign up
• Print a set of plicker cards. They are in the upper right hand corner of your screen under "cards". I printed the large font cards and put them onto colored paper. I then laminated them so that they can last from year to year. Tip: Make sure that you leave enough room around the image on the card so that students can hold them. 
• Once you sign up, then add a new class under the classes tab. Make sure you register all of your students. I only use first names when I register my students. The number order that you put them in would be the number card they would have to use. 
• Create new questions under the library tab and then assign the questions you want your class to answer. All questions you develop should be multiple choice or true/false.
• Download the app on your phone. Your phone is used to scan the plickers card when you are assessing your students. 

How to use Plickers!

• After you have questions assigned to your class, then you are ready! Log into your Plickers account on your computer and distribute your cards to your students. I have students leave their card laying with the image side down. 
• On your phone, go to your plickers app. Select your class and then the question you want them to answer. On your computer, go to "live view" at the top of the page. Now what is on your phone will display on your computer. SO COOL! I have my computer linked to my projector so students can see. 
• Have students read the question and answers or you can read it to them, depending on what you plan to assess. Give them a count down and then have them flash you their card. Everyone will place their card under their chin so that the correct letter choice they want to choose is at the very top of their card. 
• Use the little camera button on your phone to scan the room. It is as easy as that! You will watch as students input their results because each child will light up on the computer and on your phone. 
• Examine your results, reteach, or move to a new question. You'll be able to go back to look at your data on your phone and on the computer. On your computer it is under "reports". They also just created a scoresheet which will incorporate all of your data into an excel spreadsheet so that you can easily look for trends.
