Answer Garden as a Formative Assessment Tool
Why Answer Garden
- Immediate feedback
- Formative assessment tool
- All students involved
- Can embed in other apps as a URL and QR code
- Easy for teacher and student
- Can answer yourself or click on someone else's answer
- Fun
Here is an example of how AnswerGarden might fit within the SAMR model:
For an English Language Arts class working on word family:
- Substitution: Teacher posts the question, “What are the synonyms for ‘happy,’ on AnswerGarden and sends the link to students. Students click on the link to add their inputs.
- Augmentation: Over the course of two weeks, students keep finding and adding synonyms for happy while reading books of their choices.
- Modification: Every other day, students review the answers in their AnswerGarden page and analyze new words added by their peers which were not known to them previously.
- Redefinition: The class can invite another class from another country to join their activity. They can be peer tutors and teach these words to the students from the other country.
