This week, I decided to finally test out "Plickers," in preparation for my technology lesson. This preview was a perfect tease for my students, as they are counting down the days until they can do it again. I believe that this significantly complemented my inquiry, and all three of my focus students were engaged. Billy had some problems with understanding the logistics, but once he got it, he was completely hooked. My other two focus students were also squealing with excitement, and they could believe the "magic" that was happening when I was able to see their live results. I believe that the new, unique way of displaying answers prevented my above level student from getting bored. This technology tool is one that I was am extremely grateful for, and I believe that it should be implemented in all classrooms. Not only is it great for engagement and participation, but it is an amazing technology tool. Furthermore, it is a genuine result and students are unable to copy each other's answers due to each of them having a unique code. When I use these again the future, I know that my students would be engaged, as they eagerly await the next time that I use them.
