Tech Tools for Formative Assessment

Join me and Mrs. Britton as we explore strategies for assessment in VISA. Technology provides us with a vast array of online tools to gauge student understanding and target student learning needs. During this session, we will examine and experiment with the most effective tools currently available for quick formative assessment to aid with VISA goals.

What is it?
Flipgrid is a video response platform where you and your students can have online video discussions. You can provide feedback to students AND students can interact with each other or students in other classes. The possibilities are endless!

And More!!!!
With Flipgrid One (Free) you get one grid with unlimited topics. So if you have multiple classes or subject areas you can just create a different topic for each and share that topic code.
Want to try it out? I'll help you set it up and use it with your classes the first time. I have many ideas for using it .
