3. Plickers, Kahoot Quizizz
& QR Codes
Teaching can often feel like an endless Tetris game
of skills and standards piling high over our students’
heads. While we have plenty of formal assessments
to determine whether or not these skills are
mastered, it can be difficult to gage along the way
how well our students are grasping key concepts.
Come join us in exploring using Plickers, Kahoot,
Quizizz & QR Codes as a fun and engaging means of
gathering quick yet insightful data on your students’
comprehension.

4. How we use Plickers in the classroom

O question and answering to spur class
discussions

spelling

5. Benefits I experienced using Plickers

students

are still not grasping skills and concepts
O offers students an anonymous way of
participating and sharing with me both what they
do and do not understand

much
