The teacher then scans the room using their phone or tablet whilst the devices camera reads and records the student's Picker card responses. "Why not just get the students to put their hands up?" I hear you ask. Well here are a few reasons -
- The system ensures all students participate.
- This system records everyone's responses and saves that data on the Plickers website for future analysis.
- The LIVE screen projection allows all students to see when they have entered a response and then allows the teacher to show a variety of results - either a whole class graph or by individuals.
- The kids love it!
- In the hands of the right teacher it provide crucial feedback regarding student learning that will influence how you continue to teach your class.
HOW TO START
All you will need is a Smartphone or Tablet device with the Plickers app downloaded. You also need to set of Plicker response cards that you can download and print from from the Plickers website. Set up an account and get onto the website. Set up some classes and allocate students individual Plicker response cards. Then have a lesson with the students to teach them how to correctly hold the response cards so that the app can successfully record their responses. Then... write some questions into the question library and start using the kit! |
