How to Use Plickers (Part 1 of 3)

[@wendystuck6216]

Your video tutorial "sold" me. My ITC introduced me to Plickers through you and then gave me superb training. My students loved them.

+Wendy Stuck Thank you, Wendy!

Thanks for the video! So if I understood correctly, you can just print 30 cards and use them for as many different classes as you want?

[@watsonedtech]

Yes! The only reason you would print multiple sets is for convenience. For example, if for each class you want the cards taped to their class folders to make "replying" easier (i.e. the cards are always handy for the students). Otherwise, you could just pass out the one set of cards over and over again. The platform side of Plickers is what determines the assignment of students to a number, which you could digitally set up as multiple classes.

Is it possible to just print the cards in a bondpaper and paste them in a folder?

[@watsonedtech]

I would think so! Some of our teachers adhere the cards to student folders so they don't get easily damaged or lost.

[@watsonedtech]

Just be careful of laminating them, as certain laminates will create glare that will make the cards unreadable by your mobile device.

[@watsonedtech]

Sorry for the delay! Here's the link. They now come in different sizes and formats. The page also contains a link to purchase pre-cut ones from Amazon. help.plickers.com/hc/en-us/articles/360008948034-Get-Plickers-Cards

i used your video and followed it to prepare a quiz for plickers. it was not free it limited my questions and i am looking for the camera feature to scan and cant find it . it seems i have to pay for that too

[@watsonedtech]

The basic version of Plickers is still free. The app you need to read the cards from a mobile device is free in iOS/Android app stores. There is a "PlickersPro" now available with more options, but for basic free functionality, it should work fine. Contact their support.

You can contact their support and get told to reset your password. Waste a fearful lot of time trying to get started and end up with nothing but a useless set of cards that don’t work.

[@koreaphil6655]

Do we need wifi when using flickers?

[@watsonedtech]

Yes. But you really only need two devices -- your own phone or tablet to scan the cards (so 4G instead of wifi may be an option), and a second device (laptop or desktop?) that is connected to a projector or flat panel.

How to scan True and False answer?

[@watsonedtech]

Sorry for the delay! The printed cards should have A, B, C and D as well as True/False "built in" as choices.
