This looks brilliant! Patricia, are you able to explain how it works? When I look at the cards it appears that there are two numbered patterns for each page. Do we cut those so each is an individual card and give each to individual teams/students? That is, each numbered card corresponds to a particular team or student? And students/teams simply hold up their card with the letter they have chosen at the top of the card?

I have a class of 90 students in the Fall and this could work perfectly for the apps. Probably ends up being (90/7 = ) 12 or 13 teams.

Thanks for alerting us to this potentially great system for TBL.

Has anyone used this interesting app, Plickers for responses? It uses a computer-readable card the group or student holds up – a handheld device (the teacher has to have the app but is the only one who does) is used to pick up the responses --

I’m going to use this in a Pathophysiology course for physician assistant students –
