Twelve Techie Gifts - Day 12: Plickers

Merry Christmas! The final day of Twelve Techie Gifts is upon us and I'm a little excited about sharing the last gift - Plickers.
Plickers is an awesome and fun way to quickly formatively assess your students. If you're familiar with the remote clickers concept, then Plickers is essentially the same thing - only without having to fork over tons of money for the actual clicker remotes and software.  

What you need to get started:

  • Go to Plickers.com and create a free account.
  • Download the Plickers app onto your phone or tablet device (this is important because using a QR code reader, other scanner, or your phone/tablet camera will not work).
  • Visit Plickers.com to select the type of student cards you want and print out them out (see image below). 
  • Use your phone or tablet as a scanner and also have Plickers open on your computer screen (if you wish to show the results LIVE to your students). 

If you utilize student interactive notebooks, then you could print out the standard cards (which come 2 cards per sheet). Plickers provides the capability to assign students a card. This prevents having to print out new cards each time. 
Or you can play anonymously and give students new cards each time; however, I recommend creating class rosters and assigning names to gather data about your students. 

Currently, the only question formats are multiple choice or True and False. You can add pictures and choose more than one correct answer. 
The only caution I would add is to avoid laminating the cards as this may interfere with the Plicker scanning app. Plickers does provide a set a special laminated cards, however, there is a cost associated with it.  You could also order cards from Amazon for a reduced fee.  However, the cards will hold up if students place them in a pocketed section in their interactive notebooks as I previously suggested. 

Take a look at Plickers in action. I hope this is something you can utilize for the New Year as you head back into the classroom refresh and revitalized.  Thanks for reading and Happy Holidays!

  13. Awesome, earth is nothing without art. Its really a very interesting hobby. Even capturing a picture or wrapping a gift is also an art. Dress. A person, first of all, perceives the general shape of an object, then - the color and the constituent elements of the form, and only lastly - the details and details. The shape of the costume affects the impression we make on others. The highest status has a silhouette-rectangle with underlined corners, and the lowest - rounded shapes. Square. A person with a "square" figure is perceived as stocky, strong, heavy, firmly standing on his feet, self-confident. Clothing of a square silhouette (also underlined by a cell) speaks of efficiency, stability, a rational mind, proximity to the earth, materiality, and the absence of illusions. In the area of ​​color, this form corresponds to red. Choosing the right art material is also not as easy as we think as i am also searching for a good art supplies online guts(.)pk/shop/category/art-supplies/pencils/ via a stationery store guts.pk. Anyways, thanks for sharing the nice piece of stuff with us.

  15. Technology substantially adds to information access and acquisition, and hence progress. This is the basis for the presence of a massive scientific and cognitive revolution, which comprises making human life easier by growing innovations in a variety of practical domains.

    E-learning is one of technology's most important contributions to learning; the student may manage his or her education system by directing the learning process, the content of the learning process, and connecting with colleagues while learning.

  16. Compatibility with Various Skin Types: Hyaluronic acid is suitable for most skin types, including dry, oily, and sensitive skin. It is non-comedogenic, meaning it does not clog pores, making it a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of skincare products.

    Lightweight Texture: Hyaluronic acid is lightweight and easily absorbed by the skin. It does not leave a heavy or greasy residue, making it suitable for use in serums, creams, lotions, and even makeup products.https://guts.pk/shop/product/apk-high-definition-full-hd-foundation-24-hr-50g/
