Formative assessment is assessment for learning which is different from summative assessment that is assessment of learning. This graphic we shared a couple of years ago sums up the main differences between these two types of assessments. The purpose of formative assessment is to gather teaching and learning feedback in order to inform your teaching methodology and help you decide on the upcoming instructional measures. Some of the examples of formative assessment include: assigning projects and performances, giving writing assignments, and asking questions. In today’s post, we are sharing with you a set of interesting web tools you can use to formatively assess your students. Check them out below and share with us your feedback. Enjoy
