What’s one challenge you have with assessment right now?
Check for Understanding
Low-stakes, fast, and flexible—use the data to adjust instruction in real time.
Examples:
Quick polls or single-question checks
Digital exit tickets
Short response prompt
Plickers is a "paper-based" polling tool that allows you to collect real-time formative assessment data without needing a classroom set of devices. Each student is assigned a unique, printed card featuring a geometric shape that looks similar to a QR code.
Quick and Easy
Both platforms provide instant feedback to both teacher and students, allowing educators to "stop and pivot" their lesson.
By framing the "check-in" as a game or a flashcard session, students engage in active recall without the pressure of a grade, which helps solidify long-term memory while revealing individual learning gaps in a safe environment.
Mentimeter is an interactive presentation tool that transforms passive lectures into active learning experiences. It allows educators to pose questions, and students respond in real-time using their own devices (phones, tablets, or laptops).
Slower pace/more professional than Kahoot/Quizlet

Demonstrate Learning & Thinking
Mastery isn’t just the answer—it’s how students got there.
Examples:
Open-ended responses
Student-created digital products
Audio or video explanations
Visual responses (sorting, labeling, diagrams)
Book Creator enables students to demonstrate learning by combining text, images, audio, and video into digital books that capture both understanding and process.
Check out the premade Monthly Activity Journals.
Feedback & Reflection
Feedback is most powerful when students can act on it.
Examples:
Comment banks or quick feedback tools
Audio feedback
Self-assessment or reflection prompts
Google Classroom
Google Classroom
Comment banks and rubrics in Google Classroom make feedback faster and more consistent, giving students clarity on strengths, next steps, and opportunities to reflect and improve.
Teachers can provide timely, actionable feedback while students are working, giving learners opportunities to reflect, revise, and improve before learning is finalized.
(Freemium)
Student responses, discussion prompts, and reflection questions are embedded directly into lessons, helping students think about their learning in real time.
