I found Plickers as a very useful and engaging tool to use in the classroom. In the classes I am teaching this year, I had the majority of my students mentioning whether we can do quizes instead of tests. So by making use of this app/website I will be both making my students happy as well as covering the objectives on the lessons.
Pros:
Interesting for the students
Engaging due to the use of technology which is not frequent in class
Making summative assessments fun and turned into formative
Being able to know who got the questions right or wrong and address your students accordingly
Cons:
You need an internet connection
Plicker cards needed
Agree, plicker cards can be a problem as they are not very durable. It would have been better if they can be laminated.
ReplyDeleteI also think that one of the big disadvantages is that you need internet connection.
