Formative Assessment in an Online Setting

There are a few good tools out there I have used for formative assessment. Some students may not be working on the same thing at the same time, so using something that is asynchronous allows them to do it in their own time but gives you the data you need to keep planning.

Here are a few tools I recommend:

• Kahoot! - this has synchronous and asynchronous settings. Create your own set of questions or find in their list of many!  
  
• Quizizz - similar to Kahoot! this one also allows you to create your own set of questions or choose from other teacher-created ones, and can be done on their own or as a class.  
  
• Flipgrid - this is a great way for students to submit answers to question via video. They can blur themselves out or share their face, while also choosing fun video backgrounds and features.
