Many of the assessment tools I shared are digital platforms that give teachers options for assigning polls and quizzes to students. However, we know that project-based learning is some of the best way to accurately assess what students know and have learned. Of all five softwares that I researched today, I believe Flipgrid and Kahoot are the best options for how students could demonstrate competencies using technology. With Flipgrid, students can create a video or drawing and share what they know. This is a conversational way to have them discuss what they learned and share their opinion on it. With Kahoot, students can create quizzes themselves. With the quizzes they create teachers can see that students have an understanding of the material because the quizzes will include the correct answer and cover a range of topics in their questions. Any type of technology that allows for creation rather than answering is going to be beneficial in the classroom. While Google forms, Socrative, and ClassKick could all be great platforms for assessment, they do not give students the opportunity to create like FlipGrid and Kahoot do.
