Here are great tools that will allow you to give students immediate feedback and provide yourself with real-time data. I use these in my classroom on a regular basis! Great assessment tools!

1. Play a quick formative assessment game. There are lots of great techy options here. Kahoot!. Quizizz. Quizlet Live. The list goes on and on. If we want kids to get meaningful repetitions with instant feedback, they’re a great option.

Try replacing your repetition-based homework assignments with two quick Quizizz games each day. Do the first and check the student results. Do a quick mini lesson to address deficits. Then play the exact same game again. The instant feedback in those two short games will outweigh daily homework almost every time. (Hat tip to Jon Corippo for this idea!)
