Plickers
Bringing technology into the classroom
At a conference I went to a few weeks ago, I was introduced to the website, Plickers and was immediately hooked! We use technology a lot in J13....our interactive whiteboard, Elmo projector, my computer for fun apps, typing and brain breaks and I was eager to incorporate Plickers into our routine. According to the website, Plickers is "a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real time formative assessment data without the need for student devices." This basically means that students can answer multi-choice questions by holding a QR code that is specific to them and I can scan all of them instantly to gather info about what they've learned. I've used it for a few weeks now and it's been instrumental in helping me think about groupings of students and inform my daily instruction.The kids love that I can "see" their names pop up on the screen (on my phone) as they're scanned, but also feel safe since I don''t reveal how they answered. WOW! This is a powerful tool!
