Using Digital Tools for Assessment

From the start of this science class, I learned how to use an technology for assessment. I started out using Nearpod. I have never heard of this program before, but I'm glad that this is what I picked to do my digital me on. I also was able to teach my class how to use this specific assessment tool. On Nearpod, I was able to insert my powerpoint onto the website and at the end I put an assessment. That assessment allowed me to see the results that everyone had to my question, and I could share the answers with my class. My class was able to answer the questions on their own computer linked to my Nearpod, and the class was given a link. I really loved this program and I will be using it as a future teacher. Also, in class, we used google forms a lot. I noticed that teachers in my other classes have been using google forms more recently. When we did the earth science presentations, many people assessed the class using google forms. This is a really fast way to see everyones responses, and to save paper! Using technology for assessment is a great and quick method for an exit ticket, and its already graded for you!
