Teachers can use this Chrome add-on to provide feedback in three ways: record audio feedback, type feedback, or link a resource like a YouTube video or website for students to review.  In addition, teachers can use tags to rate student work as though they were using a grading rubric. Students get a sense of their progress at a glance with the tags and in detail with their teacher's longer narrative feedback. Through the tagging system, students can review their teacher's feedback over time and understand their progress in the writing process.

Website that provides text sets and ready-made units on a variety of topics that allow students to synthesize information. A typical text set unit contains six thematically aligned articles with text-dependent questions linking the work. Some texts have "guided reading" mode, where students cannot reveal the rest of the text until they answer a text-dependent question correctly.

Teachers assign students activities from a huge library of standards-mapped choices; students then log on and work through their assignments. Students review the topic until they feel confident they know the information. They then test themselves on what they know through an interactive quiz.
Pros: Individualized experiences; BrainRush adapts to each student, so if a student is doing well, questions become more difficult and the allotted time becomes shorter, and vice versa, easy-to-access, useful for providing kids with some variety when learning basic facts, which can become boring if the same approach is used over and over, good for those who need help catching up on the basics.
Cons: Information is mostly memorization based,  doesn't encourage any kind of critical thinking or creativity, not likely to help students transfer the information to the real world.

NoRedInk is a free and paid website (and Chrome app) that lets kids practice their grammar and punctuation skills using pop-culture terms they choose themselves. You can assess students on up to 20 different skills at a time and view student progress in areas such as Apostrophes, Possessive Pronouns, and Commonly Confused Words.

Ex:  Adding the correct punctuation to a sentence like "Jim Carrey wasn't pleased I'd broken into his home, letting his Labrador loose" give exercises a Mad Libs vibe and can elicit a much-needed chuckle from struggling students.

Tool which offers teacher and student peer feedback capability. If used correctly it can help students learn how to give appropriate feedback. Assignments or essays are anonymously distributed and feedback is also anonymous. When the student receives their feedback they can rate the feedback and comment on how valuable it is.  Probably best for upper grades.

Edcite touts its use as a formative assessment tool. As long as each question is carefully crafted, students get instant feedback on their answers and sometimes helpful hints based on their input. Teachers could use this tool for exit tickets and as a replacement for paper tests. It could be used for homework and to review data together with students. The more opportunities students have to practice PARCC and Smarter Balanced-type questions, the more fluent and confident they'll be on the real-life state test. Edcite is a perfect tool for building online test-taking routines and confidence, since it mimics state tests so well. Looking beyond the test prep lens, the website offers teachers a creative way to craft and track assessment data. It can reduce the laborious grading that often accompanies paper tests.

Edcite Schools is also a school and district-wide platform that allows for collaboration on common assignments throughout the school or district. Schools can then access instant data and can drum up dynamic reports to help drive instruction. Teachers can also create a profile through Edcite, curate collections of favorite assignments, and discover or follow other teachers in the community.
