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.

Two sided cards for one student.
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!

Allow for student groups to be created from the class list
We have a whole year group set up as a class and we would like to then pick from that class a group for maths, a group for English, etc. so that the students then only need 1 plickers card to cover all of the subjects and the teachers create their groups from the same generic class list.

Sync with Skyward
Most states are using Skyward as their grading system. If plickers was able to export names/ID numbers and input data results for grading--you'd have a whole bunch of ecstatic teachers!

Option for teacher to input students answer
It would be great if there a way to easily input a students answer choice if they forgot their card that day. Most students have their cards most days, but there is always one or two per day that left their binder at home. It would be great if there was an easy way for me as the teacher to put in their answer selection, as opposed to printing them a new card every time

Create an app for the iPad!
I know I can use the Plickers iPhone app on the iPad, but can you create an iPad-optimized version?

Push data to Google Docs
Hi Nolan! Please please please integrate your AMAZING!!! tool with Google docs (spreadsheet!) I think SO many people could really use your idea as a fundamental building block to interacting with others in amazing ways. I've been wanting a tool like this for the past decade but I'm not a programmer!
AWESOME work! Simple, clean, effective. Students at my school LUV this tool!
My students have published about 20 books and we're now doing more and more writing projects where the kinds conceptualize, draft and write their own books. The books are very cool and interesting. Something that always slows…

Hi all,
Today we released a big update to our reporting features that now allows you to generate reports for multiple questions and each of your classes. Along with this is the ability to export your class results to a spreadsheet (.csv). While we still don’t have an official “push to Google Docs” feature, with this spreadsheet export it should now be easy to copy/paste or import your results to a GDocs. We hope this goes a long way towards meeting your needs and you can read more about the release here: http://blog.plickers.com/introducing-plickers-scoresheet/ -

Android users can scan in portrait or landscape mode, and we’re currently working on this for iOS users. It should be available in a future app update! Hang in there!

Allow webcam scanning
GradeCam has software that allows you to check scantrons using your webcam. I think Plickers is a phenomenal idea and it would be even more awesomer (deliberate use of horrible language) if kids could hold their cards up towards the camera as they walked out of the room. That way, teachers could post a one-question exit ticket on the board and collect data to the very last second of instruction.

Assessing understanding using Plickers
In our school over here in the UK, we like to ask the children about their current understanding (sometimes at the start, sometimes during and sometimes at the end of lessons). We use traffic light colours to do this. I have added a red dot next to the A, an orange dot next to the B, a green dot next to the C and a white dot next to D. Red normally means limited understanding and need help, amber is getting there, green means they have understood it and white is expert meaning they could teach it someone else. It…

Voice recognition software
I am so excited to get started with Plickers! It would be fabulous if teachers could use voice recognition to ask questions on the fly. Something along the lines of Siri where you ask a question verbally and your app recognizes it and then allows you to scan your class for questions on the go! :)

Create and edit classes in the app
It would be nice to be able to create/edit classes in the app. That way, if you get a new student, it's easy to add them without signing into the website.

link multiple questions to a set
In the new plickers you work with sets, but I already have a lot of questions. Make it possible to add a question to a set in stead of typing it again. Something like adding it to a queue would be sufficent.
