Session Description: Are you looking for ways to make your formative and summative assessments more effective? Join us to learn how to use Flipgrid, PowerPoint, Whiteboard, Forms, and Sway to create effective assessments throughout your units. Whether it's a formative or summative assessment, finding ways to effectively measure students' understanding is crucial to ensuring student progress and future success.

This session is appropriate for teachers at all technology levels.

As a result of this session teachers will:

  1. Understand the purposes of and differences between formative and summative assessment;

  2. Explore several forms of assessment for their usefulness to evaluate student learning; and

  3. Examine a variety of assessment methods and begin planning for their use in the classroom.
