Blog Entry #8: Assessment Tools

Kahoot would be my assessment tool of choice. I found the format and scoring to be very engaging plus the addition of memes was hilarious, and I think children today and in the near future will get kicks out of those as well. These types of tools are invaluable to a teacher because they provide a way to judge both individual student and class wide comprehension of material quickly. They are very engaging and competitive formats for the children as well and are more likely to hold their attention and get them excited rather than a boring pen and paper quiz. The results are there in front of you instantly, instead of spending time grading papers. Prizes like candy or perhaps bonus points on tests are also great incentives for children to get involved and want to learn the material.
