Series: Formative Assessment Tools for Teachers 5

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

The tools

Formative This online, all-student response system provides teachers the opportunity to assign activities to students, receive the results in real time, and then provide immediate feedback to students.

FreeOnlineSurveys Allows teachers to create surveys, quizzes, forms, and polls quickly and easily.

Gimkit A handy resource for creating real-time quizzes. It was created by a high school student!

Google Forms A Google Drive app that allows you to create documents that students can collaborate on in real time using smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

GoSoapBox Free for less than 30 students, this all-student response system works with the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model, so no charge for a clicker. One of the most intriguing features for me is the Confusion Meter.
