Move student to a new class & their data follows them to the new class.
Is it possible to move a student to a different class and take their scores/report to the new class? Schedules change a lot in the beginning of a new school year. Teachers may have already done assessments and if the student changes classes (but has the same teacher) it would be great to take their data with them when they change class periods.

Make it possible to add choices to the multiple choice list.
Currently 4 choices make it possible to add a few extra if needed. As a math teacher I like to have five options usually adding the option for all of the above or none of the above.

Allow 5 answer choices instead of just 4
It would involve redesigning the cards, but I'd love to have 5 answer choices available. Many standardized tests (like the SAT) have 5 answer choices, and it would be nice to use Plickers to invigorate our SAT prep.
I've had a great experience so far using Plickers in my classroom. Thanks for making the app available!

Add tags to questions to allow searching of large libraries
FOlders are useful for orghanisation but tags for questions would also allow you to quickly search existing question library for relevant Qs. E.g. folders for organisation by class, but still able to search tags for relevant content/topic.

How about an option to make the cards personal to the student.
If I could include their name on the card, I wouldn't spend time remembering who is which number. Also, if I allowed them to keep cards with them, it would be easier when other teachers find the cards left in their room or hallway.

Plickers card design editor
How about some sort of online editor that allows us to choose a picture to go with each orientation of the QR code, I could use it with the younger pupils as an assessment tool if I could attach smiley faces to each side, for example A=FULL SMILE, B=STRAIGHT FACE C=PUZZLED FACE D=SAD FACE, that way I could see at a glance how my pupils have felt the lesson has gone for them.

Student generated questions
A lot of students are afraid to ask questions, because they don't want to look silly in front of their peers. Plickers could help them by allowing students to generate their own questions on their phones in private, upload the questions to Plickers and the Teachers can scan their cards to reveal questions that they have generated without anyone knowing who came up with the question.

A way to embed the live graph into Powerpoint
With a direct embed into Powerpoint, there would be no clunky switches from presentation to plickers' site. The LiveWeb add-in for Powerpoint embeds the webpage, but is far too inelegant to the point that switching is often better.

Have a "Hide answers" button.
This allows students to think/answer the question BEFORE seeing answers that will guide their thinking. Too often (especially in math, what I teach), the MC solutions guide student thinking, rather than the problem guiding thinking. I want to be able to hide the answers so that students are not working backwards and guessing based on the MC answers.

More than 63 unique cards
I'd like to use Plickers with more than 63 students/respondents at once.
Example uses:
- Model the use of Plickers at large PD sessions (approx. 200 respondents)
- Large university classrooms (100+ respondents)Let us know in a comment how many you'd need!

Mark a student absent
I would like to be able to mark a student absent, so I don't continually think they didn't respond. If possible, the fraction could represent the number of people present that day.
Example: I have 43 students enrolled in the class, 2 students are absent (which I would love to do via plickers - my first scan would be called attendance then if I could click their name and check a box or something to effectively eliminate them from the roster that day it would be amazing. I could do it differently if that is too difficult to program.) After…407 votes -
Built in LATEX equation editor for questions and answers
As a physics teacher it would be a real boon to be able to quickly and easily insert equations to questions and answers. Latex would be perfect for this, and online platforms already exist which convert latex code into an equation image. Combining this with Plickers would be absolutely awesome.

Import Images via Google Drive
The 'Add Image' tool is great! But you can only upload pictures that are saved on your computer. I only use Google Drive and it would be great if I could access images from there instead of only being able to access images saved on my computer. Even better would be the ability to copy and paste images into the question box.

Allowing ABCDEFG(H). This would allow testing of simple music notation.

Connect it to Edmodo
I'm using edmodo with my students, if it was connected this would be amazing. Student data would then be live.

Add some type of game integration. (Gamify Plickers)
Qwizdom and Socrative both have games that are played when answering question. It is merely a graphical display of what students are answering the most positive questions. It will require that you add the ability to make quizzes first. An example of game integration is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEsoFaubtS0

ALLOW STUDENTS TO RESPOND WITH THEIR CELL PHONES
90% of my students have cell phones. I wish there was a way like the Remind app where my students can respond via their phones in conjunction with their cards.

Import questions from 3rd-party sources
It would be great to be able to create the questions on the website as well as the app and to be able to import preexisting questions from other sources like USA Test Prep, etc.
*Note from Plickers: We'd love to hear more about the resources you'd like to import questions from -- this will better guide us in figuring out what content-providers we'd want to work with down the road to provide better content for you!
