Series: Formative Assessment Tools for Teachers 1

There is no shortage of strategies, techniques, and tools available to teachers who use formative instructional practice in their classrooms. Here is a list of digital tools, apps, and platforms that can help you and your students use formative assessment to elicit evidence of learning. 

The tools

  1. Animoto Gives students the ability to make a short, 30-second share video of what they learned in a lesson.
  2. Answer Pad Allows teachers to capture data from students using the web or the app. Ideal for the flipped or blended classroom.
  3. AnswerGarden A tool for online brainstorming or polling, educators can use this real-time tool to see student feedback on questions.
  4. AudioNote A combination of a voice recorder and notepad that captures both audio and notes for student collaboration.
  5. Backchannel Chat This site offers a teacher-moderated version of Twitter. An extension of the in-the-moment conversation might be to capture the chat, create a tag cloud, and see what surfaces as a focus of the conversation.
