About

Plickers is an AI/education tool enabling teachers to conduct instant formative assessments using a single mobile device and unique paper cards. Students hold up their individual cards rotated to indicate answers, which the teacher's device instantly scans and aggregates to provide real-time data on comprehension. This streamlines feedback and helps educators quickly gauge understanding, especially in classrooms without one-to-one student devices.

How to Use

  1. Create a free teacher account on the Plickers website and set up your class roster.
  2. Print out the unique Plickers paper cards for each student; each card has a unique identifier and four possible orientations for A, B, C, or D answers.
  3. Create multiple-choice or true/false questions within the Plickers app or website and add them to your queue for a live class session.
  4. During class, ask a question, have students hold up their cards oriented to their answer, and scan the room with your phone to instantly collect responses and view results.
