FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT 2

Quizizz

A. I would use Quizizz in my instruction by having the children come up to my computer

and answering the five questions I have set as a quiz. All they have to do is read the

question and then click the correct answer. This would count as an exit ticket for the end

of the day lesson.

B. This would help enhance the learning experience for the children because it is a quiz on

the computer. After a child answers a question it shows a funny meme. Having a fun

meme after a question is right will encourage the child to do their best on every question.

Children love to link fun with learning, so this is an awesome way to do it.

C. This tool helps me assess learning in the instruction because after the child is done I can

see their score. If it is logged in under the child’s name the score will go under his/her

name. If I am logged in I would just write their score into my gradebook.

D. This assessment tool is more effective than a pencil and paper test because it allows me

as a teacher to watch the child demonstrate what they know, it times every question on its

own, and lastly it is more time efficient for me grading wise.

E. The data is collected by user login and has to take the assignment or game that I made.

Once the student takes the test or plays the game I can see what they got. It does not

matter if they are logged in under a student of mine because I can see the scores of

everyone who takes the quiz or plays the game. I would use the results as an exit ticket

and whatever questions they got right out of the number I assigned will be put in the

gradebook as an exit ticket.

Menti

A. I would use Menti in my instruction by using the photo quiz function that they

offer. The photo quiz is a question that is asked and a photo is the answer. I would

use this in my classroom for a colors quiz with the whole class. I would ask a

question such as “Which is the color purple” and then have a photo of purple and

yellow. The children would then choose the photo that represents the color purple.

B. This would help enhance the learning experience for the children because it is an

electronic way to have a quiz that would usually be done with pieces of paper.

Colors interest children a lot, and using technology which children have so much

fun with, will make them want to learn even more.

C. This tool helps me assess learning in the instruction because it will show me who

voted for which photo that was being presented. Every child will have some sort

of electronic device and as a class everyone will answer individually and it will

show me who chose what answer.

D. This is a more effective tool than regular pencil and paper test because it gets the

children more excited and makes them more eager to learn. Menti’s photo quiz

option makes it possible for the children have an enjoyable learning experience.

The competition that this type of quiz brings will cause children to perform at a

higher rate because they do not want to lose to their friend next to them.

E. The data is collected by showing which username votes for what answer. Children

pick usernames and then sign up for the quiz with a given code that I will have on

the board. The code will then move all of the children to the quiz. After the quiz is

finished, I will get a list of the top ranked children and who answered what

question. This strategy is a very easy and efficient way to collect data.

Nearpod

A. I would use this tool in my presentation by making an interactive presentation and

having the children complete it as a post test for the week of what we learned. I

would have the presentation cover what we learned earlier in that week and then I

will have an assignment/quiz at the end for the children to take.

B. This emphasizes the learning for children because it gives them the opportunity to

take control of what they are learning. I think that children would enjoy this a lot

more than just a normal lesson and quiz because they get to choose what pace

they go at, and they also get to press buttons, highlight on their electronic device,

and have things read to them.

C. This tool will help assess learning because I can see how the children learn on

their own and at their own pace. I will be able to see at the end how long each

student took during the lesson and what they got on the quiz at the end. I will then

be able to correlate the time spent on the lesson, to the score on the quiz.

D. This is a more effective tool than a regular assessment because there are many

more options in Nearpod that a classroom, or regular assessment does not have.

One tool that it has that is so great is that there is an option to look at the class

average of the quiz. This is such a great feature because it saves so much time

from grading the quiz manually, and also because it can average all of the class

scores, which will save so much time.

E. The data can either be collected as a class, or individually and the teacher can

decide if he or she would like one or the other. After all of the children take the

quiz at the end of the lesson, the scores report to my account and I will be able to

see how each student does. This collection of data is very easy to find, and

understand!
