They have something in their hands and they need to pay attention, so they know which way to turn the card to answer each question. ]]> 2019-02-11 07:00:41 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/329740538 jbrubaker3 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708495 I loved using this as a formative assessment. It was great data I could use plus we as a class could easily see strengths and weaknesses and address misconceptions.  I liked that students could vote with anonymity. I didn't like that students had to wait on each other to answer questions. It limited the amount of review we could accomplish and shortened their focus and engagement.

One things I dislike is that I haven't figure out to add tables for math questions.]]> 2019-02-27 01:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708544 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708599 I like Plickers as an alternative to digital formative assessments. The few times I used it, the students seemed to enjoy it. It is always great to have instant data to inform instruction. I think it is important to remember it limits responses to multiple choice types and should be used in combination with other types of formative assessments]]> 2019-02-27 01:25:23 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708599 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708610 I think it is versatile and usable. I think it takes quite a bit of time to assemble the question bank. I wonder if I would utilize it enough. I can understand it as an early tech opportunity. The fact that computers are not a necessity for plickers gives me more motivation to actually try it!!]]> 2019-02-27 01:25:24 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708610 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708615 I like the fact that it gives response right away. It's an activity that they can do alone and not in groups. It's an interactive activity that gets the entire class involved, but they can remain seated.

(--): may be intimidating to use at first for younger elementary school students, probably need to add stickers to them to help them know what the cards say at the beginning, may need to laminate the cards so they last longer ]]> 2019-02-27 01:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708660 bryda_rachel https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708682 I would not use Plickers often as I do not like using multiple choice in math.  Students tend to guess answers.

We use Quizizz often, and when I polled (on Edmodo) to see if they would prefer that we didn't show the leaderboard (after I had done it once in class), the overwhelming majority of them preferred the leaderboard. I do also assign the quizizz for HW, which changes the dynamic and helps my more introverted (and those will developing skills in an area) go at their own pace. Technology access is not an issue at my current school, but I think plickers would be quite helpful in a school where that is an issue.]]> 2019-02-27 01:25:46 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708688 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708721 I like the idea but I never got around to using this software regularly as you need to print the cards and then hand them out - so you know each student has his/her card.  You could put the cards in the back of students books but then you have to print a card for every student and if you teach over 100 students as I did, it takes time to set up.

However, I am a still bit unclear how to use it and I wonder if it would take a good amount of time for students to be taught how to use the application.

I am not familiar with Plickers. The explanation was quick and I think I missed the point.  How exactly is it used?

It would require the teacher to have it set-up ahead of time. ]]> 2019-02-27 01:26:29 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708873 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708930 I like Plickers, but I also have issues with it. I think it gives a quick formative assessment in the moment where another student can not "copy" off of a neighboring student. It allows a teachers to check for understanding in a fun and creative way. I love this resource for less technology schools. This builds in technology when students and staff feel as if they have so little. A combination of the two! 
 I have issues with the system that the management of the cards can become cumbersome. I have purchased the cards and also used the printed cards. Neither have been better than the other. I also have issues with larger rooms and scanning the cards and time. When your room becomes larger, it is more problematic to scan every card. I've had many times not everyone was scanned. ]]> 2019-02-27 01:26:41 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335708930 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335709299 I think this could help me to make my classes more active and engaging at the same time.]]> 2019-02-27 01:28:08 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335709299 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335709323 I like that it's very versatile, low maintenance and all students can be involved.]]> 2019-02-27 01:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335709323 https://padlet.com/thinkingteachers/ok2ask313/wish/335709425 I like that the students do not need to have devices to use this.

I thin k it's great to have a no internet required resource. Many of our students are low socio-economic status so whti will stil allow them to participate. I think the QR code print outs would be easy to print and hand out. The cons of this plickers site is that it is not quite as exciting or enticing for kids since it's not on the interenet or on a specific devide. I think sometimes students are more engaged if on a device :-)
