Many classrooms are run under the ideal that one size fits all. However, classrooms are full of diverse learners who have varied learning needs. Formative assessments allow teachers to determine individual student and whole class needs. Digital tools such as Socrative, GoFormative, Mastery Connect, Microsoft/Google Forms, EdPuzzle, Kahoot, Quizizz help teachers gather data that can be used to adjust their teaching in the moment or for subsequent classes. Teachers can provide students diverse learning activities that meet their individual needs using digital tools such as Padlet and Thinglink. This session will focus on how to use digital tools to create formative assessment, analyze data quickly and efficiently and then use digital tools to create differentiated activities to meet the needs of all learners. The presenters will model how this can be done by having participants take a pre-assessment and then complete an activity based on the data. The presenters will also provide a wide range of examples of formative assessments created on digital tools.
