Plickers
Plickers is an awesome and interactive formative assessment tool, especially since we are not 1:1 (yet!) Using paper clicker (henceforth known as Plickers,) students hold up unique cards to respond to ABCD or TF questions. You scan it on your phone or tablet, as shown in this video. Since each card is unique (even oriented differently,) students cannot look at each others answers.
