Assessment apps

These are great examples of a few apps that assist in classroom assessment. Socrative is an app that the teacher can create quizzes, and assess how the student is doing individually, as well as the class as a whole.  Edmodo is another app that allows for collecting student work into an electronic account. Files of any sort can be uploaded here and quizzes can be created as well. Classdojo provides an opportunity to document particular behaviors and to monitor these behaviors. The result of this app could be shared through collaboration with families. Another way to organize classroom assessments and information is through Google Forms. This app allows the teacher to create lists or forms individually significant for the class objectives.  It can be shared with other teachers and unique to the progress of the classroom. This app could present as an assessment of student work.

                Socrative would work well in an upper elementary classroom. This would be an interesting app that I would like to apply to lesson plans. Google forms would be an excellent resource with several different uses.  I would like to implement use of google forms to organize information, as well as assess student work.
