Product Review of Stick Pick

With Stick Pick, educators can take their equity sticks digital! With a random learner selection system, all learners get called on to provide answers during class equally. But even better, Stick Pick also suggests question starters for learners at different academic levels, from simple yes-or-no questions to those that require more advanced elaboration. And educators can track how well individual learners respond to adjust their level of questioning difficulty in the future. Formative assessment data is easy to collect, using correct/incorrect or a 0-5 point scale, and can be shared with parents or used for differentiation.

What Users Love About the App
“I’ve used this app for at least two years. I love the app because it makes my job easier…and who doesn’t want that?!”
“This app helps me pick just way easier without causing drama in my classroom. My kids love it and so do I. I love that you can reset the stick and mark the stick. Without stick pick I don’t know what I would do.”
“I have used Stick Pick the last 3 years in my grade 1 class. I have also shared it with many colleagues.”
“I love Stick Pick for my classroom and Buzz! So helpful and quick to respond. Wish all app companies were so willing to help with quick advice like that.”
“I have used this app for the past 4years. I love it and my students love it! Great customer service and fun app for students.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“I need to be able to move a student’s stick from one class to another as they are moved around. When I choose to edit a student’s stick I would love to see a class name button to scroll through and easily change.”
“It doesn’t save classes or allow you add students. Without those two things, it’s useless. That’s too bad because it was great once.”
“Please fix the error that we can’t add any new students or classes. It makes the app obsolete and we paid money for what should be a good product.”
“I’ve used this app for years but now it kicks me out of the app whenever I try to use it. I sure do hope they fix it soon.”
“Since you can’t add classes, it makes the app useless. I’ve used it for 2 years and now it’s so incredibly broken, I implore anyone not to purchase it.”
