Hi! And welcome to this tutorial on how
to set up a class in the formative
assessment tool known as Plickers
Today I am going to show you how to set
up classes in Plickers, the free formative
assessment tool that allows teachers to
check for understanding while providing
instant feedback to students
The first step will be to create a Plickers
account by clicking on the signup button

You will create a free account following

the prompts on the screen and filling in
the necessary information (first name,
last name, email, password)

Now that you have created your account

you will go back to the top and click sign
in. Enter the email address and
password that you used to create your
account.

Now click at the top of the screen where

is says classes

You will now see a screen that has a box

with a plus sign that says add new
class. Click on that box.

You should now have a box on your

screen with options to add your basic
class info. Click on the box that says
name your class and type in the name
that you want your class to show up as.
Now, pick a year with the drop down
menu. This will be the grade level of the
class that you are creating. The next box
is where you will pick the subject of your
class. Finally, choose a color for your
class. Now click the green button labled
save
You have created a class and now you
are ready to move to the next step which
is entering in the names of the students
in the class. Each student is assigned a
number for their plickers card
automatically when you enter their
name. There are two options for
entering names in your newly created
class. You can enter them one by one,
which I will demonstatrate first, or you
can enter all names at once using the
add roster option. Lets learn how to
enter one student at the time.

a Plickers card number. Click back in the

until all students are entered into the
class.

students into a class. Click on the button

to enter all students names and assign
Plickers card number all at once.
