Assessment

**Assessment: Two Flavors!**



 * Here are some great websites that can help you to create authentic assessments:**


 * Socrative Free. You set up your class, and give students a code to participate. This tool has many features and allows you to collect a plethroa of data regarding student performance. The bonus? It takes about three minutes to learn how to use. Students can respond from any type of device. For mobile devices it is necessary to download the free Socrative app from the ITunes App Store or Google Play in order to participate. **


 * Kahoot Also free. No need to set up a class. Create a question set or use one created by someone else in the Kahoot community. Give your students the code and have them navigate to the student site, http://kahoot.it. This one collects data on student performance and creates leaderboards for your class(es). However, it is much more simplistic than Socrative and does not have all of the options for data collection. Use this one to encourage friendly competition amongst students or to conduct trivia games. You can download and print a report after a play session. **
