Informal polling is a polling system that isn't as formal as voting for the President or Senate. It is more of a poll from a randomly selected group. "Usually used to gauge understanding in recent topics, or interest in future topics. These might be specific tools used to aggregate responses, or multiple choice questions utilized to collect more nuanced differences" (Crosslin et al, 2018,117).

Standardized testing is a testing system to assess and make sure each student is on track with there learning. "These are the most common assessments, utilizing problem types such as multiple choice, true/false, matching, and other forms of standardized question formats. The answers are usually the same or similar for all learners, and tend to focus on rote memorization of facts or application of ideas to scenarios" (Crosslin et al, 2018,117).

Written responses can be many different things. It can be a short answer question where you have to write a well thought out description, or it can be a quick and easy description to a question. "This can take many forms, from open ended questions in a standardized tests, to comprehensive exams, to term papers. Learners may be required to remember a large amount of specific information, or to take what they know and apply it to problem-based scenarios" (Crosslin et al, 2018, 117).

Oral Presentations are done when students present to their classmates and teachers over a topic they were assigned or chose. "Learners either need to prepare a speech or other presentation for the instructor and/or other learners, or answer a series of questions correctly" (Crosslin et al, 2018, 117).

Activities can be done to help make learning the material more interesting and engaging. "Any course activity can potentially be

assessed in different ways, from discussion forums to blog entries to creative artifact creation (video, graphics, sound recordings, etc.) or any other work learners produce" (Crosslin et al, 2018, 117).

Group Projects are done to get students working together and get them acclimated to working with others in different environments. "Group projects are sometimes class activities, and at other times are assessments. These projects usually involve teams working together over a long amount of time to create a complex artifact or presentation" (Crosslin et al, 2018, 117).

Portfolios are something that keeps everything you have done for a course in one stop so that at the end of the year you have everything in one place. "These are usually a collection of many assignments assembled over the entirety of the course (or multiple courses). These are often evaluated on not only the overall content, but also how they are presented or assembled" (Crosslin et al, 2018, 117).

How I will use informal polling in my future classroom is using it to allow my students give their feedback on the course anonymously. Another way I may use informal polling is if I am trying to decide what I want to teach next I may select a random group of students and ask for their opinion.

I will use standardized testing twice a semester so that I will have a total of four standardized testing throughout the year. Standardized testing allows the teachers, administration and parents to see where each student is and if some students are excelling or some may be a little behind. The cool thing about standardized testing is that it shows where students may need a little more help in some areas rather than other.
