Editor's Notes
- This Power Point presentation focuses on using the Plicker application in the classroom as a formative assessment tool. Plickers is a formative assessment tool that allows teacher to collect IMMEADITE feedback without the usage of student devices. Only one teacher device is needed!
- Use Plickers as a formative assessment tool for for quick checks for understanding to know whether your students are understanding big concepts and mastering key skills. Teacher-led, no wait time for students to log-in on a computer or even open an app!
- This tool allows teachers to assess if students have mastered a skill, making it standards-based. It engages students by keeping them motivated to try their best and constantly be involved in the learning process. Plicker also automatically organizes your data for you, easily identifying which students grasp a concept and which students require a little extra help!
- Visit www.plickr.com to download a free template of 40 Plickers. Printing on cardstock is the best option because sometimes laminates cause glare. Additional cardstock printed Plickers can be purchased on Amazon.com for $20.00 if you want them to last. Show students how the cards go (A,B,C,D), and instruct them that it doesn’t help to worry about what other students select because each card is different. Once cards are up, take a quick swipe of the room with your technology device (available through iOS/android devices) and view your data immeaditely!
- Download cards on your own for free or purchase from Amazon.com. Join Plickers and log in to your account. Create and manage your classroom (you can assign names to numbers for your reference!) Develop questions you would like to ask- plicker works great for beginning of the year surveys, too! View your immediate feedback with the Live View option on Plicker app/ desktop!
- Attaching Plicker to the inside of your students notebooks works great to preserve the paper. Printing on cardstock allows Plickers to last longer. Use as a bell ring to get the class thinking or as a ticket out the door to assess formatively what they have/have not yet mastered. Use as a professional development tool or a professional learning tool with colleagues at your next faculty meeting or in-service.
