GoFormative in the Classroom!

Last week in Janelle Hurkett's room, I observed her student's using GoFormative for an assessment.  Each student was working their way through the assessment at their own pace. After completion, Mrs. Hurkett could decide to use the formative results instantly with the class, or look at it later. GoFormative scores multiple choice and short answer for you so can be a great time saver. Wanna check out GoFormative, come see it in action with Mrs. Hurkett, Mrs. Henricksen, or Mr. Koenen at Excelsior.

Formative Assessing? Plickers Please!

Who says each student needs to have a laptop, iPad, or phone in front of them to conduct an online Formative Assessment?  In Mrs.Yerke's 7th Grade Reading class, all you need is a piece of paper, a teacher device, and Plickers Formative Assessment App.  Each student is assigned a number and a matching Plickers card.  Start asking questions and the student decides how to rotate their Plickers card to match the answer they selected.  A quick scan by Mrs.Yerke, and all of her class answers are quickly recorded and organized for her to review.  Fantastic!
