Formative Assessment. It is and should be an integral part of an educator’s practice, but sometimes it is difficult to implement properly, and that is where Technology-Enabled Formative Assessment comes in. Formative (http://goformative.com) was created to provide an easy to adopt tool for educators to engage their students, gain feedback and data on student progress, see responses in real time–and it will do so much more. Make online assessments with your current materials. Embed audio and video into questions, and allow audio and video responses. Create time-limited assessments. Use it for summative assessments. And then, link data with learning management systems like Google Classroom.
But above all, Formative promises to make an educator’s work flow more efficient, increase student achievement, and … make money for investors!
