Formal or Just Fun?
Today’s educational apps and sites create several opportunities for teachers to quickly assess student progress. Formative assessments are checks after teaching and during units to gauge student understanding. They can be used for the purpose of reteaching or to identify students that may need additional help. They also let teachers know what concepts students have grasped. Exit tickets and questioning are just a few strategies that are used often. The popularity of game sites are great resources for formative assessments and engaging for students. Here’s a bonus...they’re free.
Quizizz is one of my new favorite educational sites. Check it out at: www.quizizz.com ! Once students have played the teacher created game, an Excel spreadsheet is generated with details of student answers. The report yields a breakdown of the number of correct responses, number of attempts, and accuracy. The newest feature on Quizizz is that it can be added to the Google Classroom, so students do not have to enter the game code. This is a great feature when working with younger students.
Worried about not having time to create your own quiz? There are several quizzes already prepared by other teachers. The quiz bank has quizzes from all content areas.

It’s free! Give it a try!
