Activity 7: Assessments

I use Socrative as a classroom review tool for roots, prefixes, and suffixes. Here's a copy of one of my quizzes (I don't know how to embed a live quiz from Socrative):
Socrative is a good tool for very concrete information and factual assessment. It also allows for the teacher to ask an open-ended question to which the students reply, which can then be saved to email and printed out. I've used to this to assess knowledge of paragraph and complete sentences. I will continue to use Socrative throughout the year; kids like it.

PollEverywhere seems like a fun tool to get quick responses for things and start discussions. I might use it for Do Now!s at the beginning of the period. I usually had kids write Do Now!s in a notebook, but what fun is that?
My Poll: What was your favorite part about summer?

    Great idea for student engagement! Students would love to do the bell ringer using tech :)

    Hi Scott, when I click on your PollEverywhere link it says:
