In this article, through a bibliographical survey of academic sources such as: books, scientific articles, research reports, websites and digital articles, we will seek to understand the use of the Plickers Platform as an evaluation tool in the educational context focused on the educator's practice, exploring this alternative innovative and engaging capable of transforming students' periodic assessment into an innovative, fun, effective and meaningful experience by combining technology and interactivity. We will also explore the relationship between educational practice and teaching/learning and the Plickers platform; the evolution of assessment tools in the digital educational context; concept, characteristics, advantages and disadvantages in addition to the functionalities of this platform through the preparation of the Plickers 2024 Manual, which will help guide educators in the best practice and use of this tool in the classroom.
