Directions on how to insert images. Does this include clip art?
I teach computer skills to primary age students (PK-1st). Having the ability to include clip art would be great. Are there directions on how to insert images? I couldn't find anything in the help section.
2 votesHi there,
Thank you for drawing this to our attention! We’ve updated our Help Center to include the steps to add an image!

Add dates to forum posts
This might seem trivial - but can you please add dates to forum postings. I'm a newbie and would like to know when a status was revised (started / completed)
Thanks!1 voteHi Micki,
If you click on an idea in the forum, you should be able to see the posted date, along with the dates of all the comments for the idea. The dates just don’t preview on the “big list” since it looks like they’re ordered by most active or most recent. We’re using another service to support the forum and don’t have much control over the way things are displayed. Sorry about that!
Thank you for being active on our forum and advocating for transparency!

"Reveal answers" capability from the app, so I'm not tied to my computer.
I'd love to be able to scan the room without showing the histogram on the screen (so students don't see the most popular answer), and then reveal it with the answer after scanning from the app.
420 votesToday’s update introduces two new buttons in the mobile app:
Show Graph and Show Correct
Tap them to toggle the display of the correct answer and the graph of student responses.
We’d love to hear what you think!

Hi Plickers friends,
We have a way to print out your multiple question reports for your students (and for grading). It’s a lesser known feature of our Scoresheet.
To try this out, sign into your Plickers account, go to the “Reports” tab, then “Scoresheet.” From there, select the class you’d like a report for and the date of their quiz/assignment you’d like to see results for. Now, after your results have shown up, you can use the “Print reports for individual students” link on the left panel to print off the results. You’ll have a nice overview cover page with the class average and top 3 missed questions, and then there will be individual reports you can hand back to your students with their grades and answer choices.
Hope that helps!

I would like to be able to purchase laminated copies of the Plicker cards!
I would like to be able to purchase the matte laminated cards on Amazon. Our school does not have the matte option and I think they would last longer!
1 voteHi Natalie,
I’m not sure if you knew, but you can actually purchase these cards on Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Plickers-Student-Cards-Deck-40/dp/B00FPIQB3W

I would like to be able to have a HARD CARRIAGE RETURN in my questions.
If I could type instructions on one line and start the question on another line, it would help in formatting some questions...
For example, I type: "Solve the following equation: ½ ( 4x - 20 ) = -2x + 15"
and when it displays, the equation is not all on the same line. A return would make it display correctly.7 votesHello, hello!
We recently announced that you can now add an image to your question, but what you may not know is that we also enabled hard carriage return in the question body! Now you can also add multiple lines to your questions simply by pressing “enter”!
Hope that helps!

Allow more than 20 questions to be added to a plan at a time.
I tried to add 25 review questions to a class plan today when I noticed the first 5 were no longer in the list on my phone to be displayed. It would be very helpful to be able to plan more than 20 questions at a time.
45 votesHi friends,
With the updates from the summer and fall on both Android and iOS, you should be able to see up to 100 questions in your Plickers queue. Hope that helps!

Could there be a way to edit the number assigned to a student?
I already have my students numbered, but it occasionally changes as students move in/out of my class. I like to keep them numbered alphabetically.
1 voteHi there,
You should be able to drag-and-drop the students’ card numbers around on the different tiles to change which number they’re assigned to.
Hope that helps!

Hi Plickers Friends!
You voted for a way to print out a class roster so you can have a reference of students and their numbers. You can now do this from the Classes page of the website if you click the printer button! We’re marking this idea off as “completed” and hoping you’ll add your votes to the idea for printing questions: http://plickers.uservoice.com/forums/194176-ideas/suggestions/6739898-print-questions
If you’re still interested in having a printed questions sheet.
Thanks for helping us make Plickers better!

Allow you to assign student names, but not show them in Live View
It would be helpful if you can assign the numbers to your class by name, but not have the names show in live preview (this is hard on kids who do not want others to know they got the answer wrong).
55 votesHi Plickers Friends,
You’ve mentioned that you wanted the ability to hide students’ names in Live View.
We’ve added a button to hide the student response panel entirely and bring that back out when you want to review students’ answers (via the graph, etc). This is the button with the little arrow in a box next to the Full Screen button at the top of the Live View page. If you haven’t gotten a chance to check it out, please do so!
If you specifically wanted to show the card numbers’ response, but not the names, and still have the student response panel visible, please get the new idea rolling on the forum! We want to be sure to address your needs, but for now it seems that this “show/hide” student response button resolves most of the voters’ issues here.
Thanks!

Be able to archive questions into subject folders
If you could archive questions into subject folders, this would save time, but also allow you to use it again the following year.
741 votesHi friends!
We’ve added the addition of folders, which we very much hope addresses the idea here of wanting to “archive questions into subject folders.”
Essentially, we hope that having folders for your questions will let you easily organize and save questions to use from year to year without really needing to “archive” them since we’re more clearly distinguishing your Library from your Question Queue (active questions you’re planning on using more or less immediately).
If folders haven’t quite addressed your idea, please start a new thread in our forum!
Thank you,
Team Plickers

Allow for longer question lengths in the app
Is there a way to view longer questions for them to see without getting the "..." at the end from not having enough room? Am I doing something completely wrong? I am new to the application.
15 votesHi Plickers friends,
We’ve got a few updates for the iOS app underway now which should let you expand to see your full question in the app. We’ll be working on enabling full question previews on Android as well!
Stay tuned!

Deleting an Old Poll
Not sure if this is already in place, but it would be nice if there was an easy way to get rid of old data. For example, I was teaching the kids how to use the cards and made up a bunch of random questions to practice, but do not need those any more. I can't find a way to delete them.
1 voteHi Kelly,
You can delete old polls from the website! If you’re deleting a question, you can hover over the question in the Library to bring down the dropdown menu arrow and options, including “Delete question” and “Archive question.” For completed polls, you can do the same under the Reports tab.
Best,

Increase the number of barcodes
Sadly, here in California many of our core academic classes are larger than 40 students. Is it possible to expand the program to accommodate more than the current 40?
3 votesCheck out the cards at this link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pvfyk15ulu7j26e/ZmScFXYz25 for a set that will work with up to 63 students!

Make the cards available on Amazon again!
Please make them available on Amazon again! I don't have access at my school to a lot of ink to print the plickers off myself. I really want to use these in my classroom this year!

Show the correct answer
When all of the students have answered have the correct answer light up or change to green on the screen so they can see the right one.
2 votesHello!
In Live View, you can actually click on “Show Answer” to color-code students’ answers and indicate which is correct. We hope that works for you!
Best,

Go between questions
Please add access to go between questions that were created within the teach graph. This will allow me to give multiple questions from a lesson for review.
5 votesYou should be able to do this by changing which question you’re viewing on the app. Check it out and send a note to support@plickers.com if you’re having trouble with this!
