Last summer I did a workshop on formative assessment tools. Here is a link to that presentation. Recently, Richard Bryne posted a few new assessment tools that are definitely worth adding to your bag of tricks.
Tozzl.com
Tozzl.com is a digital easy-to-to-use platform that enables people to collaborate. Like Padlet and Today's Meet, it allows students to share thoughts, ask questions and respond to prompts. But wait, there's more! With Tozzl teachers have the ability to add hashtags to the mix. Say you're a Social Studies teacher studying the Civil War - add #civilwar to your Tozzl and a feed populates for your students to see. Want students to view a video and respond? Tozzl has a place to upload YouTube links, photos and more. Watch this video for a tutorial.
Plickers
Plickers is a classroom polling system which can display results in real time. The only materials you'll need to get started are paper, a printer, and a smartphone or tablet. Check out this video to see how Plickers can be used in your classroom.

Padlet: An Oldie But A Goodie
Technology has given students the ability to share information globally. Collaboration opportunities are everywhere, and Padlet is just one way to communicate, express ideas and share information with peers.
Padlet, a user-friendly website is a "wall" where students can post content, thoughts, videos and pictures. It is accessible from any device with an internet connection, so creating or adding to a Padlet can be done any time, anywhere.
Padlets can be shared, embedded, and downloaded into PDFs, Excel sheets and jpegs. And of course, as a huge fan of all things Google, I was thrilled when I found the Padlet Chrome extension, which allows users to share content directly with a wall they have created. That. Is. Awesome! But wait, there's more! With Padlet, you have infinite space. Keep double clicking and the screen will adjust.
Nervous about everyone adhering to proper netiquette which using Padlet? Visibility of the walls you create are completely customizable. In addition, as the administrator of your wall, you can moderate comments and posts.
There are SO many ways to use this tool in the classroom. Below you'll see a Padlet that gives ideas to get you started. Feel free to add!
