Pick a student at random with just a tap, swipe, or a shake — but that\u2019s just the beginning. Stick Pick suggests question starters for learners at different levels and also records how well students respond during classroom discussions. If a student is consistently scoring near the top or bottom, simply change the level so students aren’t bored or frustrated. Depending on students’ levels of English proficiency, they might be asked simple yes-or-no questions or to elaborate in longer sentences.

\nDIFFERENTIATE INSTRUCTION
\n———————————————–
\nStick Pick is the first app of its kind to uniquely link question stems to the cognitive or linguistic needs of each individual learner. Teachers can have multiple soup cans (classes) filled with sticks (students). During setup, teachers choose a category of question stems they wish to focus on for each learner. Questions can be based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, English as a second language (ESL) skills, and degree of difficulty can be chosen for each learner.
\n———————————————–
\nTRACK FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT DATA
\n———————————————–
\nFormative assessment data is easy to track because teachers can tap a corresponding correct, incorrect, or opinion button based on the student’s answer. Teachers can also rate each student’s answer by selecting 0-5 on a critical thinking rubric (Bloom’s) or an elaboration rubric (ESL).
\n———————————————–
\nEQUITY FOR ALL!
\n———————————————–
\nStick Pick is a handy tool for any teacher device and can guide classroom discussion in really helpful ways. Teachers can mark sticks so they aren’t constantly calling on the same students or asking students the same questions over and over again. Students in small groups can use Stick Pick, too. During small group work, students can take turns asking one another questions based on Bloom’s Taxonomy, making group work more productive and on-task.
\n———————————————–
\nIMPROVE PARENT-SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
\n———————————————–
\nStudent progress is recorded and averaged automatically within the app and can be shared in lots of convenient ways.
