Plickers integrates technology with classroom Q&A activities to make data exploration interactive, visual and fun for students. Rather than passively consuming figures, charts, and statistics, learners are fully engaged in asking questions, watching results, and analyzing data in real time. This is how Plickers closes the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical experience.

One of the great things about Plickers is that it lets you collect feedback quickly with special QR coded cards. Teachers ask questions, and students point their cards to the answer they have chosen. The system uses a scanning device to read the responses. The data is pooled and displayed visually, so the whole class can immediately see the proportion of accurate responses, the most prevalent selections and the diversity of individual viewpoints.

This approach provides many opportunity for pupils to learn assessing, comparing and interpreting information. They can study what made a certain answer the most popular, look for trends in the survey responses or make predictions based on the data they collected. The information can then be used by teachers to adapt their course, explain difficult ideas, and stimulate group discussion.

One of the great things about Plickers is that it gives kids who don’t often speak up a chance to share their ideas without the burden of speaking to the whole sprunky class. The platform turns the exploration of information into an active, pleasant and highly practical educational experience through interaction, rapid feedback and visualizing data.
