What is it?
Plickers is a website and iPad app that allows you to check student understanding of a concept in seconds and do it without requiring student access to any device. Teachers can create multiple choice assessments either on the fly or in advance and students provide their answers by means of a coded card that they hold up in the direction that signifies their answer (A,B,C, or D). The teacher uses her iPad and the Plickers app to scan the cards and collect the student responses.
