Goal 4:

Formative Assessments Using Mobile Applications

Explore Using a Different FA ToolEven though you have already selected one technology to use this school year, it is very unlikely that you will use only one. Choose a technology tool that you are uncomfortable with to explore further. For 10 minutes, practice using this tool and create a plan for how you would use this tool.

Share About Different FA ToolWithin your group of four, share your thoughts on this different FA tool. Does it meet your needs? Would you recommend it to other? Why or why not? Choose one person out of your group to share their thoughts on the Lino canvas.

Teach vs TechRemember, it’s not about the technology, it’s about the tool. While these formative assessment tools are very effective, sometimes no-tech options are a better solution.
