Formative assessment needs to be taken into consideration by every teacher if they are to improve both their teaching practices and their students' learning processes. Now that there are plenty of digital applications intended to enhance educational environments, and most people have smartphones and computers at hand, teachers and educators should make use of these technological advances to actively interact with learners and gain insight of how well they do with what is taught to them, as well as how they feel about the instructional methodology they are exposed to.
However, the implementation of any of these tools for doing formative assessment may also face some challenges when used with young people: 1. Since it requires either computers or smartphones, students can easily get distracted by other applications or web pages and therefore miss the opportunity to make their contribution. 2. The use of any of these digital tools requires all students to have their own personal device to be involved in the assessment activity; some of them may not have one. 3. Internet conection is also a vital component if this activity is to be carried out successfully; sometimes, and in some places, there may not be access to this resource. 4. Its implementation should not be quite often, otherwise students would be in danger of getting distracted and end up misbehaving and not achiving the goal of the activity.

Formative assessment is an important tool teachers can use to target students' learning needs. When teachers know what students know (or don't know), they can better adjust their teaching to meet the kids right at their level. These digital formative assessment tools can help you do the job.

“Teach, mark, move on: that’s the old paradigm. Today’s classrooms have changed. It is important to show the students where they are, how to improve, and where to go from here… It’s no longer about “this is your mark and that’s the end of the story”. ~ Secondary Teacher

Following the visual I posted here a couple of weeks ago featuring the differences between formative and summative assessments, somebody shared with the link to this Listly list that comprises dozens of interesting web tools to create online assessments. I have already reviewed some of the tools mentioned in this list in separate posts here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning but I also found out new tools I did not know about.

Occasionally I come across a teacher who expresses concern about moving toward the ideal of a highly evolved PBL type classroom where students are self-initiating much of their thinking and actions. As teachers many of us are more familiar with a teacher-directed environment either in our own professional experience or in our years as a student, so envisioning this shift can leave some teachers wondering what their role might be. Rest assured that even in the most student-centered classroom the teacher plays a vital role in facilitating learning. As Tim Kubik points out in the video below, a large part of this is the planning and lesson design process that sets up the great learning to take place as the unit unfolds.

Here is another wonderful resource shared today by Edutopia titled “53 Ways to Check for Understanding”. This 2 pages PDF features a host of useful strategies to use for formative assessment in class. Formative assessment, as we have agreed elsewhere, is assessment for learning which is completely different from summative assessment, which is assessment of learning.

This is a great way to get information on student learning in a way that doesn't take a lot of time for the teacher individually. It would also help the teacher to make an individualized plan to help each student from where they are at.

This post is born out of a discussion I had with a fellow teacher on the Facebook page of Educational Technology and Mobile Learning on the differences between summative and formative assessment. Luckily this discussion coincided with me reading Frey and Fisher's book " Literacy 2.0 : Reading and Writing in The 21st Century Classroom." and there was a section in which the authors talked about these differences in a subtle way by referring to formative assessment as assessment for learning and summative assessment as assessment of learning.

Formative assessment tends to be a little more nebulous, and perhaps harder to nail it down with technology.
