Voicethread could be used as both formative and summative assessment in the classroom. This allows students to create and share conversations through many different forms, such as documents, videos, pictures, etc. It would be great for students because it would allow them to submit their answers in a format that is more conducive to their way of thinking; however, the amount of choices that are given might stress out some of the students.
Google Form could also be used as either formative or summative assessment in the classroom, and it allows the user to create different kinds of questions. Google Form knows that it is often used as a quiz, so it set up the form in a quiz setting, making the grading easier for students. Since it is free, it is a great resource to use, and Google has many extensions that could be added for the experience. Many schools use chromebooks, so for the Google schools, it would be extremely easy to integrate into the classroom. A con would depend on what kind of questions that the teacher chooses to ask. If they are questions that are easy to google, students may do that, instead of working on memorizing the information.
RabbleBroswer would be a great tool for formative assessment in the classroom. It allows its user to share files and learn in a group setting. It is great because it would allow for students to interact with each other in the virtual space, where the teacher watches and gauges their understanding. However, it is only available for iPads, so if the school doesn’t have iPads that would be a problem. Also, the iPads would have to be on the same network or connected with Bluetooth, so with remote learning, this app wouldn’t work. It is free though.
