My mind was just blown. That’s right. I just experienced a #mindblowing app that will change the way you check for understanding during your lessons: PLICKERS
Plickers is a simple tool teachers can use to gather formative assessments from their students. It’s a fun, easy way to get your students’ feedback, answers, and engagement.
It’s pretty simple to use…
You also have to download the app on your smart device.
Then you need to assign your students a specific Plickers card that is associated with their name.
Next, add your folders and question sets.
Now you’re ready to start using this with your students! Make sure you give each student the correct Plickers card. Show them how to use their special code to show their answers. The answer they choose as correct (A, B, C, or D) should be the letter that’s at the top of the card when they show you their card.

You can display their responses on the board. You can show them anonymously, or with their names open for everyone to see. You can see who specifically answered which question and what their answers were to the question.
When you try it, it’s phenonomal. You’ll want to spend hours making Plickers questions.
