Plickers is a very simple, easy to use tool that will allow you to complete formative assessments without the learners having to have devices! This is so cool!!!! You can use Plickers for quick checks for understanding to know whether your students are understanding big concepts and mastering key skills.You simply print the cards and the learners hold up the one that corresponds with the answer they want to respond with.
Example 1: My learners are studying ways animals communicate through their senses; how they take information in and process it. I could use Plickers to do a quick review at the end to make sure they understand how various animals use their senses to communicate and process information that they take in.
Example 2: My learners just finished up talking about the body systems and how they work together. I could use this within their discussion groups to check for understanding. It could even be a "game" with each table being a group working together to see who can earn the most points. All kids love a good competition!
