Pros and Cons

1. Kahoot
A website that allows students to participate in a quiz game. These quizzes can be student made or teacher made. Teachers can even find ones that were made by other people on the website. 
Pro- free to use and fun for kids
Con- Some features are locked behind a paywall
2. Nearpod
Self-guided lessons with the options to ask students questions throughout. The teacher can create lessons and share them virtually with the students. Students are able to complete the lessons at their own pace and answer the questions to check for understanding throughout the lesson. 
Pro- Allows for formative assessment throughout the lesson
Con- Not direct instruction for students
3. Google Forms
Part of the google suite that allows you to create quizzes or poll questions. These forms can be created by the teacher or the student to demonstrate their learning. 
Pro- free to use and easy to share
Con- limited options for question forms

1.) Google Forms: https://docs.google.com/forms/u/0/
Google Forms is an easy way to see what students already know about a topic before discussing it. You can also use this site as a formative assessment. The pros of this site include easy access, teacher creation, and quick response feedback. Google forms evaluates the test scores and submits them to the teacher immediately after completion. However, I couldn't come up with any cons for this site. 

2.) Kahoot: https://kahoot.it/
Kahoot is an easy access website that can assess students before, during or after a lesson. The pros of this site include easy access, fun for students, and allows for students to view testing as a game instead of a paper document. The cons of this website include that students are able to see other student responses on the screen. Another con is that the Kahoot questions have to be completed in a short amount of time. 

3.) Jamboard: https://jamboard.google.com/
Jamboard can be used as an assessment tool and a material tool. Students can demonstrate their understanding by applying ntoes about what they have learned. The pros of this site include easy access, student engagement, and collaboration with peers. The cons of this site include collaboration with peers. For example, if you want to test your students based on what they know and the whole class has the same jamboard students will be able to see each others responses.  

1. Blooket- Blooket is similar to Kahoot but has different game versions that engages the students in the content. Teachers are able to see how the class did as a whole and how each individual did as well.

Pros- students enjoy the games and reviewing the content, the insight after is great
Cons- in order to see real in depth data, you have to pay for the plus version

2. Google Forms

Pros- free, quick, simple, quick data
Cons- one format, can be tedious to create depending on questions

3. Pear Deck- Pear Deck is a Google Slides add-on that has different templates and question types

Pros- easy to create, different question types, real time feedback
Cons- paid features, cannot have slideshow animations

1. Kahoot
Kahoot is an interactive online quiz tool. Students can explore on their own or it can be used with the entire classroom. I like to use kahoot for summative assessment. The pros are that it is user friendly, easy to access, and can be used in a variety of ways. The cons are that some features are locked for premium membership and some features could potentially be distracting.
2. Google forms
Google forms is powered by google docs and can be used to post quizzes and reflections for both formative and summative assessment. I think it would be more useful for the latter.
The pros are that it is powered by google docs, so it is easily shareable. Students can access from anywhere. However, if students are locked out of google for some reason, they may have trouble accessing it.
3. Flipgrid
Flipgrid is used to make videos and recordings. This is a unique way to have students participate in assessment. It could easily be used a formative assessment for students to give oral reports of their understanding of the unit. The pros are that it is a unique assessment method and user friendly. The cons are the potential to lose work and students who are not comfortable verbalizing may need an alternative.

Google Forms (https://docs.google.com/forms)
A division of the Google Docs Editors suite, Google Forms is an online platform that can create quizzes/surveys and be shared publicly with anyone who has internet access.

Pros: Free; easy to use; results/answers can be automatically downloaded onto a spreadsheet; allows for collaboration

Cons: Design/font options are limited; requires internet access

Kahoot! (https://kahoot.com)
Kahoot! is a trivia-style formative assessment tool that allows for the creation and customization of interactive quizzes. Students answer questions on their own devices and compete against other classmates. Kahoot! can also be used to gather opinions from students and brainstorm on a specific topic as a class.

Pros: Free (but free version is limited, see below); can be used for face-to-face or virtual learning; easy to create a quiz quickly; exciting and engaging for students

Cons: Students win more points if they answer the fastest (focus should be on answering correctly rather than speed); free version is limited in its use (restricted from using the following features: type an answer, puzzle, poll, word cloud, open-ended questions, or brainstorming); requires internet access

Canvas (https://www.instructure.com/canvas)
Canvas is a learning management system that streamlines all educational materials and houses them in one online database. Canvas offers four different types of quizzes: graded quizzes, practice quizzes (not graded), graded surveys, and ungraded suveys. 

Pros: Many options for customization (time limits, shuffle questions, one question at a time, multiple attempts or one attempt, etc.); automatically entered into the Canvas grade book; score can be adjusted through the use of fudge points

Cons: Requires internet access; can be used on mobile devices and tablets, but Canvas was explicitly designed for desktop use

1. Canvas Quizzes
Pros- Canvas quizzes are great because they are self-checking as long as you provide the correct answers. Canvas will even sync with SIS gradebooks to automatically input the scores. 
Cons- You are somewhat limited as to the types of questions you can ask and the way students can submit answers.

2. Kahoot
Pros- The kids love it. There are TONS of premade quizzes to choose from both made by Kahoot and by other users. They give some level of analysis afterward.
Cons- Can get the kids hyped up. If you are just using the free version, you are limited in how far you can customize your quizzes.

4. Flipgrid
Pros- A way to see the kids faces/expressions (especially handy when teaching remotely). Allows for teachers to grade a demonstration or speech in their own time. Great way for students to collaborate.
Cons- Students are limited to showing their understanding to the medium of film.

Flipgrid           
This website allows students to record videos to answer questions. They can then respond to other students’ videos. Pros to this website are that students get the opportunity to incorporate technology, can be as creative as they want, and can be done at home or in school. Cons are that videos are limited in time, students have to write out what they are going to say so they do not run out of time, some students might not have a device that can record.   

Kahoot           
This is an interactive quiz game for students to participate in. The teacher has the ability to use games that are already created or create a customized quiz/game. Pros to this website are students love it, it is interactive, students can participate from anywhere, and data about each question is instant. Cans to this website are that this too can be overused and students can become disengaged, students can share the code with people in other classes and can cause the game to go arrive. 

Google forms           
This can be used as an online quiz. Teachers can create short answers, multiple-choice, or true and false question forms. Pros to this are that the information is gathered for the teacher, easy to create, and easy for students to complete. Cons to this are that it is an online quiz and there is only so much flexibility in creation.

1. Google Forms: This tool can be used to create surveys, digital escape rooms, quizzes and tests. There are several question formats available as well. The pros for Google Forms is that it is user friendly for educators, can be used to differentiate between students (directives when selecting a specific answer etc.), it can grade for you and can display the data you collect in a variety of ways. Some cons of Google Forms are that it doesn't provide the student with direct feedback, the questions aren't as customizable as a platform like canvas and adding media to questions can be tricky.

2. Plickers: With this platforms, a teacher preloads a set of questions for a class. Each student is assigned a unique QR code that they can use to answer questions. The teacher scans the room with their phone/ipad etc, and will get instant feedback on who go the question correct and what the class looks like as a whole. Pros for Plickers is that students enjoy the unique format and strive for the 100% correct confetti, it limits students coping answer since each card is unique, you can skip around the question set to tailor the lesson to that specific class hour, and it provides data on each student and the class as a whole after each session. Cons for this format are that passing out cards can be a hassle and if you give the cards to students they tend to lose them, the question format is limited to multiple choice and true/false and that it requires a lot of work on the front end of the lesson. this isn't something you can just pulled up a questions set.

3. Quizizz: Similar to Kahoot, quizizz is a gamified quiz platform that offers 3 different game modes. These quizzes can be offered as a homework assignment or it can be hosted as a live game. Pros of quizizz: it's fun, there are multiple question formats, it creates a report of each student at the end of the game and it's student paced so you don't have to wait for each student to answer the question. Cons for quizizz are that because its student paced, some students will finish early and get distracted waiting, it relies heavily on being fast at answering rather than going for accuracy and the active link can't be open forever for students to complete it late.
