Teachers should always remember to create some time to reflect on their own teaching and focus on
the need of their students. Therefore, I believe that formative assessments are a way of helping our
students accomplish their academic goals. Formative Assessments help students have an idea of
where they are academically and what they need to get to mastery.

The formative assessment tool I chose for my pre and post-assessment is called Quizizz. I picked
this one because students tend to like it more than Kahoot or Socrative. The pros of using Quizizz is
that it is student paced and I can display on my smartboard where my students are as far as getting
the items right or wrong. It gives me and the students a quick snapshot of how much they know about
the topic.

For this week’s assignment, I want to assess how much my students know about infinitives
(grammar). They should know it, but it is always good to double check and not to assume that they
know it. It was quick and simple to make it. I was able to get some ideas from already made quizizz.
I added some questions and it was a breeze. Here is a link to the website that explains how to create
quizzes in Quizizz: https://quizizz.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203769241.

One of the things that I think Quizizz is missing is to include other options to conduct formative
assessments other than multiple choice questions. However, it is a great way to do a quick check and
getting students prepared to answer multiple choice questions. Overall, I am liking this tool and it is
helping me assess my students in a fun and interactive way.

I have to say, I failed your infinitive quizziz soooooo bad haha, I completely forgot what they were. I learned after one of your questions told me to+verb is an infinitive and after that I started getting them. Good job with that question, if I was a student taking this I would get frustrated (which I did) and this question would be a lifeline. After your presentation, I decided I would make a Quizziz because it reminded me of Kahoot and I love Kahoot. I agree that it does not have enough diversity in the types of quizzes you can create (Kahoot has jumble, survey, discussion, along with multiple choice) but it definitely is easy to use and gets the job done.
ReplyDeleteHi Elisabeth,
ReplyDeleteI tried your quiz and really enjoyed it. I can see how kids would like this format, and also the little feedback memes you included after each answer. Nice touch. I agree with Sam ... I couldn't remember what infinitives were, but I knew what they were by the time I was done with the quiz. It was a great tool for learning. I would definitely use this in the future.
Thank you for sharing,

Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Quizziz until you! It seems like such a fun tool to integrate into the classroom and I really like how interactive it is for students.
