Hi Michelle! I am a 4th grade teacher in Kansas City (first year, yikes!!) and I would love a video about classroom management when “typical” methods don’t seem to work. I know that seems broad but I’m at a complete loss these days! Thank you so much for all of your videos-they are so so helpful
I thought of you Thursday and signed up for Plickers. I always want to keep my students engaged by using different activities. I will definitely use this Tuesday for review!
I love Plickers! Sadly I had misplaced my cards earlier this year... but, how crazy is this- while listening to your video, I was cleaning out my closet and FOUND MY PLICKERS CARDS!!🥳 they must have heard you talking about them!😂
I absolutely love your videos! I would also love to see more school vlogs. I want to be an elementary school teacher one day and I love watching your videos to understand the life of a teacher ♥️
Thank you for always providing such helpful tips. I will use this in my classroom. I am also very much enjoying your new podcasts and the freebies. Thanks for all that do. I hope your year is going well!
Thank you so much for your kind words Amanda! I really hope your students enjoy it! I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying our Teaching to the TOP podcast and the freebies!
Love the tech tips. I love Plickers!! It gives you real time data and can guide future instruction. I wish I had this instead of an expensive audience response setup.
Love using Plickers with my students. Great way to activate prior learning. Could you make a video about Symbaloo? You have mentioned it on several of you vlogs and I would love to see how it works. Thank you for all that you do. ❤
I’m a college student, and i just used these for the first time the other day in my math class! We didn’t get anything cool like this when I was a kid!
Love this series Michelle!! I learned about these the tech things you’ve mentioned throughout undergrad but I like the more in depth explanation of it! I’m currently student teaching so this is useful!Thank you!!
I just learned about this and I love the idea!! Have you tried to use this while distant learning? I suppose I could always use a Zoom poll, but I think the students would think it's fun to have a physical card.
I wonder if I can use this without displaying the questions to the students on a screen (like, I can print the questions for them or just read them aloud), therefore without a second device. We don't have computers or projectors at my school, so I have been thinking about using this with just my personal phone... Let's see if it's possible and if so, how it goes.
its a good idea in theory the biggest con for this is I can only use this for multiple choice and my district is big on explanations of HOW students got their answers especially for math. You know how students like to look at each other's answers and before you know it everyone has the same answer.
I totally understand. But you could easily have students discuss their answers after giving them. Also, with the Plickers cards, the letters that show their answer are super small so they aren't able to look around and see what other students are picking.
I’ve watched a half dozen videos covering Plickers, yet none of them have described how long it takes to scan the cards in a classroom of, say, 25 students.
I started using this during student teaching and my kids loved it. Sadly though the internet at my new school goes in and out so much that I really can't use it. Oh well, maybe once we get our new system, it will be better. Can you do some STEM/STEAM videos? I'm trying to incorporate it more into my classroom and I need some ideas. :)
It seems like a great idea in theory, but I struggle to believe it will work as well in practice. Mostly due to technology incompetent teachers, but also failure to scan correctly and frustration with a brand new and non-user friendly answer method. If submitting the data electronically is not an option, whiteboards or other means would probably be just as fast if you include the time it takes for possible problems with Plickers. However, this is just speculation, maybe this will be another tool to help students learn more effectively, in which case, great!
Thank you for this video! I have have the Plickers app on my phone forever but I was confused how to use it effectively. How often do you use this in your class? Secondsuperstars
Hey, I quite like your videos. Our school has started using plickers. When you scan the cards should the letter be facing you or the students? For instance, if D is what the student chose.
Hi Michelle, do you know if Plickers can work well for a remote learning, for younger children to simply hold up a card to participate in quizzes, rather than having to go to Kahoot or Quizizz etc?
I love this! I am starting at a new school this year and have the luxury of VERY small classes (10-15 students!!) so I am looking forward to integrating much more edtech! Michelle - question, is your POBox still working? I sent you a wee Xmas something but it's wound up back at my place today with a 'return to sender' sticker.
Never heard of this before, but seems great if students don’t have 1 to 1 devices. Cheers from Australia. 🐨
Yes, it is a great option if you don't have 1 to 1 devices (which I don't). Australian is in my thoughts!
A teacher I observed years ago used this and I have been trying to remember the name for the longest! Thank you so much!!

Yay! I really hope your students love it!
as a student who has had teachers use plickers they actually are rly good and helpful and much funner that most quizzes x
So cool! I use Kahoot with my students in this way, but this would be a fun addition. You're the best at explaining things!
I love Plickers! Sadly I had misplaced my cards earlier this year... but, how crazy is this- while listening to your video, I was cleaning out my closet and FOUND MY PLICKERS CARDS!!🥳 they must have heard you talking about them!😂
I’ve been gluing the cards onto the back of their exercise books, has been working well for us
I absolutely love your videos! I would also love to see more school vlogs. I want to be an elementary school teacher one day and I love watching your videos to understand the life of a teacher ♥️
I think this tool is very cool, specially because I'm tired of computers 🙏😊. Thank you, from Portugal.
You have the best ed tech videos! Keep 'em coming!

You are an awesome teacher you tuber Michelle! You inspired me to create a channel. Keep up the good work 😀!

Just commenting to say that I laminate my Plickers cards with shiny lamination and I've never had an issue with scanning.
Good Morning, Michelle! I’ve alway seen and heard of plickers on your vlogs, I will have to try them! 😍 ❤️Aaron
Thank you so much Aaron! I hope you enjoy it!
You always make feel good inside
Love this series Michelle!! I learned about these the tech things you’ve mentioned throughout undergrad but I like the more in depth explanation of it! I’m currently student teaching so this is useful!Thank you!!
Very helpful
Implementing in our school i.e located in Kolkata,India
Thanks dear Michelle😊
This seems really cool!! I’ll have to try it out 😁 I’m really loving yours and bridget’s podcast! 💗
It sounds great! Thanks for sharing, I'll try this in one of my classes for sure!!! Greetings from Colombia.
my high school teacher used to use plickers and I loved it!!!
Seems like an awesome alternative to Kahoot for kids who get a little too distracted on their 1-to-1 devices. 😂 Can’t wait for try this!
Matte modpoge over regular laminate works as well. I did that for my vipkid props for years.
This is such a cool concept! I wish I could make it work for preschool students, but it seems a little advanced. Still a cool resource!
This is so interesting! My first time hearing of it but now I'm interested to add this into the classroom :)
Awesome! I started using Flippity like you mentioned before and it’s amazing!
I’ve been teaching for many years and I still get nervous when it’s time for formal observations. Any tips?
Also, love your dating vlogs.
Excellent. Crystal clear.
Love this! Thank you! Perfect for standardized test prep
Yay Michelle! I love this video! So useful for non teachers too
I use this all the time and its amazing, however thanks for the idea of sticking them into their books! How did i not think of that lol
I just learned about this and I love the idea!! Have you tried to use this while distant learning? I suppose I could always use a Zoom poll, but I think the students would think it's fun to have a physical card.
I love Plickers and my students do too! 💙
I wonder if I can use this without displaying the questions to the students on a screen (like, I can print the questions for them or just read them aloud), therefore without a second device.

my teacher used this & im a senior in hs, all i can say is that it was superrr fast and easy
its a good idea in theory the biggest con for this is I can only use this for multiple choice and my district is big on explanations of HOW students got their answers especially for math. You know how students like to look at each other's answers and before you know it everyone has the same answer.

very informative and helpful video
Thank you for the great and informative video! (Loving the podcast by the way)
You can ask fed ex office to print on waterproof impossible to tear flexible paper
I used this in my English class for our vocabulary
I’ve watched a half dozen videos covering Plickers, yet none of them have described how long it takes to scan the cards in a classroom of, say, 25 students.
Hye my name is Liyana from MRSM TDI, I just want to say that I love your video
I started using this during student teaching and my kids loved it. Sadly though the internet at my new school goes in and out so much that I really can't use it. Oh well, maybe once we get our new system, it will be better.
Can you do some STEM/STEAM videos? I'm trying to incorporate it more into my classroom and I need some ideas. :)
Love your explaination..!
I love plickers! I don't want to waste time creating assessments, can I create a question on the fly and select the answer, then scan cards?
Also have the best year ever with your students and everyone who has been kind to you and can you talk about what college you went to
love your videos💖
Thank you so much Lorita!
How far from camera can students be when I scan on my phone? I have some kids in back row about ten feet away from board? Will that still work?
Yes! The camera picks up the cards really easily. I stand in the front of my room and it will read every card... including the cards in the back.
Where are you vlogging from i always wondered because we have never seen this when u actually did vlogs (home/classroom vlogs
It seems like a great idea in theory, but I struggle to believe it will work as well in practice. Mostly due to technology incompetent teachers, but also failure to scan correctly and frustration with a brand new and non-user friendly answer method. If submitting the data electronically is not an option, whiteboards or other means would probably be just as fast if you include the time it takes for possible problems with Plickers. However, this is just speculation, maybe this will be another tool to help students learn more effectively, in which case, great!
I will be giving this a try this week 😊
In adapting for COVID...Wondering if it would work remotely through a zoom or teams meeting, will the phone record answers off a computer screen?
thank you mam
I’d like to know if Plickers can be used with distance learning... it would be awesome!!
I used this! Its great!😚
Yahhhh !! A new video!
Thank you for this video! I have have the Plickers app on my phone forever but I was confused how to use it effectively. How often do you use this in your class? Secondsuperstars
My biology teacher uses these!
I love it!
can it be used when you are far away from your students?
hey its markey mark i miss you so much you are the best
Can I use plickers in my online class?
I LOVE plickers for my 7th and 8th graders. What do you think about flipgrid? Still trying to utilize it to the best ability for lessons
i know that i did that last year it was easy super easy
Hey, I quite like your videos. Our school has started using plickers. When you scan the cards should the letter be facing you or the students? For instance, if D is what the student chose.
Hi!!! What is the different between Plickers and Karoot? ♥
Great video👍
Hi Michelle, do you know if Plickers can work well for a remote learning, for younger children to simply hold up a card to participate in quizzes, rather than having to go to Kahoot or Quizizz etc?
So is this basically like kahoot if you're not 1 to 1

What happened to your upgradED initiative?
Hey, just use kahoot.com and then use classroom ipads to join it.
How did I land here 😂😂 I'm not a teacher but somehow this was kinda cool!
Wow I am so early
Thank you for watching!
Pocketful of Primary your so welcome I watch all of your videos
Are you guys planning on having kids in the Future
