It is important to assess students throughout the learning process. There are typically four types of assessment:
- Entrance Ticket/Pre-test: Assess prior knowledge
- Exit Ticket/Post-Test: Assess learned knowledge
- Formative Assessment: An informal “check-up” on learning objectives
- Summative Assessment: A formal assessment that tests student success in relation to learning objectives.
In my transition to a paperless classroom, I have also set a goal for my self to assess students more often and provide more feedback. Grading is a pain the you know what…but if I can find tools that will do it for me…assess away!
Entrance Ticket: I created a Padlet…first time doing this and it’s really great. I like that you can make it private and supply a codeword for users. Very easy for multi-class use or collaboration.
Formative Assessment: I made a google form. I need to continue to become more fluent with these forms so that I can include them in daily lessons (block schedule).
Summative Assessment: For the unit I chose, the content is best assessed outside of a multiple choice format. Class Marker allows me to create any type of question and digitally collects all of the answers. I am not sure if I will use this for essays instead of google classroom.
