Tool 1

🔨Blooket



    • I use Blooket as a review for summative assessments. Students are engaged using Blooket because it has many game modes.

    • While we were not in person, students from any location can still log into Blooket and play against their peers. It also can seemlessly post to Google Classroom for homework or review.

    • I use this tool to help clear up misconceptions on the standards I have taught before we take a formal or summative assessment. I really like how Blooket gives you the option to see the most missed questions so I can quickly address things students may not completely understand.

🔨Padlet

    • I like to use this tool to see what students already know when introducing a topic or unit. I also use padlet as tickets out the door to assess student learning. Recently, I have used Padlet as a tool for students to use to help other students see everyone's ideas for a choice board project.
