FROM THE IDS TEAM:
Plickers is a fantastic app for teachers who have diverse learners in their classroom. Students will not feel singled out as they do not have to respond verbally, and other students can't see their answers on their cards. Teachers can use it to organize effective groupings, repeat lessons, and plan next steps.
FROM THE PROVIDERS:
Plickers lets you poll your class for free, without the need for student devices. Just give each student a card (a "paper clicker"), and use your iPhone/iPad to scan them to do instant checks-for-understanding, exit tickets, and impromptu polls. Best of all, your data is automatically saved, student-by-student, at plickers.com.
