"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 Android smartphone or tablet 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"
Plicker can be a useful tool for teachers to get quick, real time answers on their students' understanding. A great tool for technology-limited classrooms. This is a great way to revamp warm-ups, quick checks, and exit tickets. It also collects data for teachers to monitor student progress. This can be used at the beginning of a unit as a pretest for teachers to gain a quick assessment of where students are in their learning. It can also be used by asking big-picture questions, followed by allowing the students to engage in respectful debate for their chosen answer. Whatever way you wish to use it, students will almost certainly prefer this method over pencil-and-paper assessments.
