Using Google Forms & Kahoot to Transform Formative Assessment


I have not posted in a while. Balancing being a husband and father, along with being a teacher takes up most of my time these days. Nevertheless, I am posting a presentation I gave to my colleagues last month.

I primarily emphasize how great Google Forms and Kahoot can be for formatively assessing students. In a perfect world, education bigwigs would focus more on formative assessment rather than time consuming summative assessments that have a small impact on a classroom. Formative assessment allows a teacher to diagnose problems in real time rather than weeks or months after receiving summative assessment data.

What do you do to formatively assess your students?
