Build Yourself a Formative Assessment ToolKit
Kahoot
Kahoot! is one of the rare, great tools that you can learn about today and actually use tomorrow as a go-to formative assessment
Teachers access Kahoot @ Getakahoot.com
Students access Kahoot @ Kahoot.it
Socrative
You can create quizzes in Microsoft Excel using a template or import quizzes shared by a colleague in Socrative.
Once a quiz is created, you can then administer it at a controlled pace or allow students to go at their own pace.
Plickers - for the low tech classroom
Have students work independently on a series of multiple-choice questions about a reading passage or a series of math problems, then poll the class and show a graph of the results.
Formative
Use Formative as your go-to tool for capturing students' responses in class or following at-home assignments. Start with the simple tutorial and experiment with the pre-made assignments to consider what might work best for your classroom. Make short multiple-choice questions to use as bell ringers or exit tickets to start or end your lesson.
Great for secondary teachers who want to upload their maps/formulas...
EdPuzzle
EdPuzzle is one of my favorite tools. It gives teachers a set of tools to crop an existing online video to just the moments needed for a specific teaching purpose. Teachers can also customize the cropped video with voice-overs, audio comments, as well as embedded assessment questions. Crop any YouTube video. Download the EdPuzzle extension in Chrome and the EdPuzzle button will be nestled under every YouTube video you view. It's a great reminder.
