Plicker

Plicker is described as an assessment tool that was created by a teacher who was wanted to make a quick and easy way to check a student's understanding. This tool allows teachers to collect formative assessment information without having to get the students to use their devices or paper and pencil. Plicker can be used on the go, and it is free to use! The type of learning that takes place in Plicker is through games and lessons. Plicker is really easy for students to use. The teacher creates Plicker cards for the assessments, and the student just rotates a card to show their answer. The cards come in different sizes and larger size fonts for students as well.

Plickers can be used in many innovative and interesting ways within the classroom. I found a blog by a teacher named Laura Candler who provided lots of ways that she uses Plickers in her classroom!
One activity that she performs is called, "Team Plickers Showdown" The showdown is a strategic game for practicing and reviewing academic content in teams. Ms. Candler also uses Plickers for lunch count and attendance. She creates a generic lunch count question with up to 4 responses and changes the lunch choices each day. She uses the lunch count numbers for attendance as well after the tardy bell rings.
