Why you should Plicker? Assessment made easy!!
Wouldn’t it be fantastic if all of our students had their
own electronic device? If these devices aren’t available in your school then
Plickers is definitely for you! What are Plickers? Plickers stands for “paper
clickers.” They are 40 pre-made cards that let teachers collect real-time
formative assessment data without the need for student devices. Students are
given or assigned a card to hold up to answer questions given by the teacher to
check for understanding. All the teacher has to do is scan the room with any
IOS or Android device. Results are given instantly as to which students
understand and which do not. The results
can be shown for each individual student or you can have it show the overall
percentage for the class. The pre-made
cards can be found and printed off for free at http//:plickers.com or you can
purchase a laminated set on Amazon for $20!
The benefits of Plickers:

Great Article!
ReplyDeleteTechnology and Physical Education can work together. There are many resources that can be implemented into the classroom. The tools you have are endless including YouTube, Android or Apple apps, and much more. These tools can be essential in building students engagement and activity within the classroom. Many of the students are more tech savvy then the teachers are now a days. The Plickers app is an amazing app. This free app allows you to use paperless assessments to calculate students answers. Another great app is the Tabatas app which is a 20 sec workout the kids do and the app starts and stops to basically run the class. What I like best about this app is how you are allowed to change the workout to best fit the needs of your students.
Thanks for all of the great post.
