What is it?
• “Plickers is
a powerfully simple tool that lets teachers collect real-time formative
assessment data without the need for student devices.”
Advantages:
• Supports critical thinking; allows all
students to be engaged and participate anonymously. Teachers gain insight into students
understanding in real time. Helpful when
planning future lessons as the Plickers report facilitates determining who needs
remedial or advance work. Lastly, only
one device is needed.
Disadvantages:
• The game only allows for multiple-choice,
yes or no, or true or false questions limiting gauging a students thinking.
Students might misplace or get their cards mixed up.
Usage:
• I would encourage the use of Plickers for formative assessments as it allows
to get this done in a quicker manner that can be more engaging to
students.
Teaching It:
• All it requires is printing the cards,
setting up the roster and one device to scan, therefore using it can be taught
while actually using it.
