Read the article and answer the questions as you go.
Once you are finished, it is time for you to try creating your own digital assessments. You will find some resources listed below. If you have found a digital assessment tool you'd like to use, it's time to head over to the assignment and get started.
Sample Digital Assessments:
There are several options for assessing digitally using a multiple-choice format and more are being added daily! You can always use Google Forms to create a quick and easy multiple-choice digital formative assessment.
Check out this 2-minute video on Kahoot! and how it is used in the classroom, created by Tech in 2: https://www.youtube.com/embed/BJ3Er1-tCMc?rel=0&showinfo=0 (Links to an external site.)
For more information on how to create a Kahoot! and to sign up for your free Kahoot! account, go to getkahoot.com (Links to an external site.)
Similar to Kahoot! is a platform called Quizizz. One neat option here is that it shows the questions and answers on the device, so students do not need to see a projection! Here is a 90-second video highlighting the features of Quizizz: https://www.youtube.com/embed/lvcLRA-VG1E?rel=0&showinfo=0 (Links to an external site.)

Similar to Socrative is a platform called Formative (formerly GoFormative). One of my favorite features of formative is the ability to upload pdf files for students to write directly on and share with you for immediate feedback!

Another one of my favorite classroom response systems is called Nearpod. Nearpod allows you to share your content with students on their device and walk them through your presentation with interwoven interaction between teacher and student. If this sounds like something you're interested in learning more about (it's pretty awesome), Nearpod has developed an amazing presentation on using Nearpod using... well, Nearpod.
