Formative

Self-Paced Professional Development Course

What is Formative?

Formative allows you to upload an assignment, in the form of text, images, videos or document. You can choose how you want to assess it - typed response, multiple choice or show your work. Students join the class by entering the unique code, similar to Kahoot and Google Classroom. You can even post it straight to Google Classroom. Then watch it LIVE as your students go through it. Best of all, Formative is made by teachers!
About Formative

How can I use it to enhance & transform my classroom?

Transform your class assessments by receiving real-time responses from students, allowing you to Know exactly what each student needs as they learn and take immediate actions.

What are other educators saying about it?

  • Usage: I am always looking for ways to assess my students formatively in my middle school math classroom. This app will help with doing live, on the spot assessment using any device, but more specifically on a tablet where you can draw.

  • Strengths: Students can draw and demonstrate their knowledge as well as write their process in mathematics. Teachers can embed videos and ask questions about the video.

  • Verdict: I would recommend this tool because you get to see live feedback of what the student is actually doing. You can give the student immediate feedback. I like that there is a variety of ways to assess the students.
