Using Plickers!

A couple weeks ago, we kicked off the use of Plickers in our classroom!  What a time-saver!!  We used it for our reading and math pre-assessments for the week.  Our students love it, and we loved being able to have data immediately as we were testing!  Then, we were instantly able to view the misconceptions and form our collaborative groups according to each students' prior knowledge!  What a great way to cut down on wasting instructional time and saving ourselves tedious grading!  Here's a picture of our class as we were testing them.

The only down side to Plickers is that your questions have to be multiple-choice or true/false.  Open-ended questions still have to be paper/pencil but even that element makes believers out of us!
