This week on meredithakers.com, Meredith is sharing about Google and how it can be used for formative assessments. I love this post and it is relevant to my classroom because all of the studnets at my school have their own school Google account.
The first tool Meredith shares about is called AutoDraw. I have never seen or used this tool before but love it! Its a virtual whiteboard. My students LOVE using whiteboards in the classroom so I know if i introduce them to an online version, they will be ecstatic. Meredith advises you to use this for exit tickets or similar simple activities. I think this is a great easy tool to use!
Meredith also shares about Google Forms and Google Slides. Many of the upper grades use these Google Tools in their classrooms but I have not used them in my classroom yet. She gives an example and template for Google slides and discusses how to use it to ask questions to students and see their responses in real time. Meredith suggests using Google Forms to receive feedback from students. You can use a QR code or send students a link to complete the from. Google organizes the responses for you.
I hope you will check out Meredith's post and try some of the tools in your own class!
That sounds very cool to use a digital white board. This would have been very helpful for me last year when I didn't have a classroom set of white boards. Even now I could use this to save my markers and erasers.
