PLICKERS Plickers is a wonderful resources to use in your classroom to do formative assessments. Your students will LOVE it! Website portion of the setup: 1. Go to the Plickers website and create an account. 2. Click on CARDS located in the top right corner and pick which cards you would like to use in your classroom and print them. (In my first grade classroom I use the Large Font). 3. After you print the cards you may want to laminate them. Do remember that laminating them in a high gloss could cause them to glare. (I turn one of my lights off in my classroom and have not had issues with glaring.) 4. After your account is created you can then click on Classes (an option in the top left hand corner) and create a class. When you do this you will be assigning a number to each student. 5. After steps 1-4 are completed you can then click the Library option (top left hand corner) and create questions. 6. After your questions are added to the Library you can then click on the small calendar icon under the question and add it to your Plan. When it is added to your plan you can then see it in Live View. (Live View is something I will discuss in the How To Assess Portion of this explanation) PLICKERS APP iPad/iPhone portion of the setup: 1. You will want to download the Plickers App-This is an iPhone/iPod only app, but you can put it on your iPad. When you search for this app in the app store you will want to click iPhone/iPod only option. (If your search is on iPad you will NOT find the app.) 2. After this is added to your device you can then login, go to your class, and your questions will be visible. How do you assess with Plickers? 1. Pass your cards out to the assigned students: Remember you assigned each student to a number. (This was done during the website portion of the set up) 2. Turn your Smart Board/ Projector on and go to the Plickers website. 3. Open your Plickers app and click on the question you want your students to view. 4. You can make this full screen and hide the names of your students so they can't see who is getting the questions right or wrong. 5. As the students answer (by turning the correct letter up) you will click the camera button at the bottom of your iPad/iPhone/iPod in the Plickers App. You can then scan the room and see who is getting the questions correct. Their names will pop up as the device scans them. -THIS DOESN'T TAKE LONG-I promise! The more you use Plickers the quicker it will go. 6. After your are done with a question you can then click on the next question and as long as you are in Live View your question will pop up on the Smart Board for the students to read. 7. Your data will be saved so you can refer back to each question and review all the answers. HAVE FUN! |
