What is Plickers?

Plickers is a new classroom polling system which can display results in real time. The only materials you'll need to get started are paper, a printer, and a smartphone or tablet.

How Do You Get Started?

1. Download the Plickers app for your mobile device.—Phone (Apple or Android) or iPad

2. Print Plickers cards to use with your students (I recommend laminating them also!)

3. Log into Plickers.com using the information you entered after downloading the app, and create a class.

4. Add questions on your mobile app Teachers project a question in the form of a multiple choice item, and students hold up their card (with either the a, b, c or d side of their card on top). It is written very small so no one really sees how the card is being held up other than the individual student.

You, the teacher, scans the classroom with your mobile device and voila...the responses are automatically recorded for all to see. You can see the student responses individually or you can display a graph for the class to see how many students answered a, b, c or d.
