Assessment can be a horrifying word for teachers and students. However, culminating assessments can be more successful if teachers consistently use formative assessments or checkpoint activities. Formative assessment can occur without or without technology! The goal is to check where students are in the moment in comparison to where they need to be in the future. I have included a great poster! The blogger has included their blog website at the bottom of the poster. I challenge you to use a non technology assessment first followed by a technology infused assessment. My personal favorites are the exit ticket and easypolls.net

Because of the nature of your class, I wonder if Padlet would be a good tool for you in terms of creating a flow charts (process).

Exit tickets are a great assessment tool. I use them often for immediate feedback. I'm going to check out some of tech options listed on poster too. Thanks!

Interesting! I never considered using social media outlets such as Twitter for formative assessment. Most of the high school students that I teach are already so knowledgeable about such applications, so it would eliminate the initial phase of confusion and learning to navigate within the app. I am also eager to give quizstar a try. Thanks for the helpful info!

I like the idea of the exit tickets. A quick informal way to know if the students understand the skill/strategy. It seems less threaten to admit they still need help understanding. Thanks for information! I will let you know how it works in our classroom.
