Here's where tools like Google Forms' quiz mode, Add-ons like Flubaroo, and other simple quiz systems like Formative have value for me and many other educators. A short multiple choice quiz that gives students instant or near instant feedback can be one part of giving you and your students an opportunity to see what they know about a topic before embarking on a new unit of study.

I’m really excited to see that educators are clear about the use of formative and summative assessment. We’re using formative assessment to gauge the effectiveness of our teaching and to know what our students know and have yet to learn. We’re using summative assessment to evaluate student progress toward course goals and report grades.

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.
