I would love to be able to access a bank of questions based on standards created by other teachers.
It would be wonderful if I could access a bank of questions created by other teachers based on grade level standards. Why reinvent the wheel?

Print questions
It would be great to have a way to print a hard copy of questions that we have used with plickers. This would allow our students to reveiw the questions on their own as well.

With the new testing standards, Could you make Plickers recognize multiple correct answers?
The new standards are now having multiple correct answers. Three out of four answers could be correct. It would be nice if this were an option as well.

Make Plickers fully usable completely offline, i.e. without internet connection.
Wired or Bluetooth connections between the reader (phone, webcam, ...) and data processing/storage device (conputer) may be necessary but where internet connectivity is unreliable, a system which needs an internet connection is a non-starter.

Make it possible to switch the card numbers and names without having to delete students
Please make an option where we can change the card number of students without having to delete and reenter all the students afterwards. This would be helpful if teachers give students individual class numbers and want to match the card number to the student's class number.

Allow questions to be duplicated/copied
For when teachers use questions with the same answer choices, it would be so much easier to just copy the question and edit what needs to be changed without having to type out the same answer choices multiple times.

4 per sheet
Can you print to the size of a 1/4 sheet (4 per sheet)? A teacher in our workshop this morning suggested that we tape Plicker shapes onto the back of students' graphing calculators. Right now the ones that are 2 per card are a little too large. What an awesome idea! Thanks!

Hi friends,
Thanks for writing in about this idea. Many teachers already do this by changing their printer settings to print 2 pages per sheet. This will automatically layout the cards so that there are 4 per sheet (if you’re using the standard set).
Best,
Jenn

Plickers is awesome, but for a better experience it'd be great to import questions and answers (e.g. as a csv or tabspaced)
Plickers is awesome, but for a better experience it'd be great to import questions and answers (e.g. as a csv, database e.g. MySQL or tabspaced). Otherwise you have to type existing question catalogues over and over again... Thank you!

Randomize Questions per class
Now that the new spreadsheet is here (which is awesome) I'd love to be able to randomize the questions in my quiz library for the my same classes taught at different times.

I would like an assessment bank to share questions. Have categories, like 3rd grade fractions or elementary floor hockey. Click to share.
When you write a questions, there could be an option to click on "share." Then you put in it in a age group "Elementary" or "5th grade" and then the topic. For instance, "Elementary volleyball" or "5th grade, division". It would be great when planning a unit, to see if there are questions already ready instead of creating your own each time. It would be a time saver and there would be a better chance the students have a better quality of questions than just me creating them all.

Randomize the order of the answers
I'd like to be able to make the answers appear in random order. That way, if you re-use questions (like I do a lot), students can't just pick the letter they remember was the right answer the last time.

LMS intgration - Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard
Very simply allow us to associate a particular card with a particular student in our LMS. Also allow for the answering of questions that are already in our LMS via the cards rather than on computers. Those students that miss class or for some reason can't participate in class using the cards (they forgot them) can answer the questions before, during or after class on their own devices.
The instructor wouldn't need to figure out which student is associated with which card and questions could be formulated prior to class and reused.

I would like to change the font size in the questions/answers to make it bigger.
I use the cards with my Kindergarten class. Allowing me to increase the size of the font would help them to be able to read it easier.

Plickers having an automatic upload to MasteryConnect.
MasteryConnect is an online tracker that shares assessments from teachers to teachers. I use it to track my students' progress on Common Core State Standards. If Plickers automatically linked to MasteryConnect (Socrative already does but Plickers is MUCH simpler to use) then teachers wouldn't need to go between the two programs. Questions could be shared through MasteryConnect and linked to CCSS.

Integrate with Google so Chromebooks can be used!
So many districts are going 1:1 and Chromebooks are the tool of choice. If you will integrate with Google then I can see your reach expanding exponentially!

Image placement & sizing
I'd like to be able to place my image above the question or between 2 parts of the question, so intro-image-question, rather than below the whole lot. Also, I'd like to control the size of the image as this may be a major part of the question.

I would like to have two teachers be able to scan and have their phones update with students who have been scanned on the others phone
My co-teacher and myself are scanning kids cards. While it updates on the screen when we both scan them in, it does not update on each of our phones, this would be nice as well. Thanks

Multiple pictures for questions AND answers
I would like to be able to add more than one picture to the question and I would also like to be able to add pictures (even multiple) for the answers. My 1st graders love Plickers and we are using it, but sometimes they need a picture because they can't yet read all answers and questions.
