Summative assessments allow students and teachers to see how much growth in learning students have made in a whole unit of study.

# data[].attributes.body
Using digital tools, students can choose different ways to show what they know. They can create reflection videos, digital storyboards, submit typed responses, or create presentations. Students are not limited to a written response, but can show their learning through different types of media.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that formative assessment can help students realize that the process of teaching and learning is a joint effort between educators and students. It stresses the point that teaching is iterative, and that we are constantly incorporating feedback into our instruction to ensure students are having authentic and positive learning experiences.

Using digital tools and online platforms like Flipgrid or Padlet increases student engagement, which elevates the fun component in your classroom. These tools can not only increase student participation, but they can also help you easily track student progress and identify students who may need extra support.

# data[].attributes.body
Summative assessments are a great tool to evaluate what topics students understood and the other content they found challenging. They also provide an opportunity for us to reflect on how effective we were at teaching the material, and to think about new approaches to delivering instruction the next time around.

The HyperDocs video was a great introduction to the "Show what you know" assessment, giving you a glimpse into the various media outlets students can use to highlight what they know. Whether it be through creative writing, creating a graphic design piece or video, there are countless ways students can demonstrate their knowledge on the platform that best fits their personal interests.

They may choose a variety of web tools, instead of linear multiple choice or written test. One size definitely does not fit any. Offering choices, multiple pathways, and various experiences allows all students to find a path to understanding the topic that is being taught.

Formative assessment means that teachers are observing and assessing students each day and hopefully multiple times a day to see what students understand and where they need more help.

# data[].attributes.body
One tool that my students enjoy is Kahoot. It is a fun way to see who really understands a concept and how needs extra help. Digital formative assessment can be fun like Kahoot, it could be a google form where you can collect and keep assessments or it can be a check out/ exit ticket question to see the depth of student's understanding.

Summative assessment is where students show what they have learned about a topic, idea, or unit focus. These can be done in many ways and are hopefully an accurate assessment of what that student learned. I like to give a pre and post assessment so I can see students growth and can later share that with them.

# data[].attributes.body
Summative assessments can reveal students' growth since the start of a unit and areas still developing. Depending on other factors, they can also provide confidence or reality checks for students as well as allow teachers a chance to reflect on what was effective and what might be improved.

There are many ways for students to 'show what they know'. With distance learning there have been many digital ways to show what students learned, Padlet being on of them. Students can use a video of themselves or with puppets/stuffed animals. Students can create questions for others to answer, the list of tools seem to be growing each day.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital formative assessment tools can allow students to show their thinking and understanding in a time efficient way AND receive feedback more quickly as well. The teacher can also adjust next lessons according to student (mis)understandings and needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Formative assessment provides data on where students are in a particular learning unit or toward learning goals. Teachers know how to pivot their lessons to review misconceptions or move ahead if students are comfortable with skill/content. Formative assessment gives students feedback too; whether they need more practice, what questions they should be asking and their next learning goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Digital tools can provide students immediate feedback to students and guide them towards next steps in their learning. As a teacher you can quickly assess trends from an online game or quiz to adjust your teaching. You can use the tools as entry tickets or exit slips and group students effectively for targeted small group instruction.

Digital tools allow students to share what they know when not physically in the classroom. For example in a flipgrid video they could explain orally to a question they might have jotted in their readers notebook as you're not able to read their notebook remotely you can still provide feedback and coaching steps. Using an online math tool students can enter the answers to math practice problems on their homework page which allows a teacher to see their progress remotely vs. collecting papers in the classroom. Digital tools can also offer student choice in the format of assessment that suits them, they can use slides/drawing to demonstrate visually, a video tool to explain verbally/act out or a padlet post to explain in writing.

Students are super intuitive using digital media.  During the spring SIP I taught them coordinate points and they were able to really get into plotting points using digital media in a really fun way to show what they know.  The use of different platforms also allows differentiation and choice of what students can do to show what they know.

Using the methods of formative assessment allows for more spontaneity and learning from peers 'in the moment in the room where it happens' with students collaborating and discussing with each other to grow their understanding on each of their peers. It also gives opportunities to those who may need more support to learn from others and participate in their own time. Because there are many areas where teaching and learning is most effective when done casually and from peers with their peers with guidance, this is a valuable tool for assessment on a regular everyday basis.

When students can read peers' ideas and build on those in a padlet format such as this, it's not just the student and a screen. They're reading or seeing what someone else is thinking diversely about the same piece of literature, or whatever subject that we use words to describe our thinking...so any subject.

this is a necessary, more formal setting and is used long term as a pattern, as well as a way to pinpoint more specifics in skills and concepts that may need more support, and can then be reengaged in a more formative space with collaborating with peers on different perspectives of the same challenging curriculum.

By using whatever the student knows that most likely the teacher doesn't due to the youth of today, particularly those with access, knowing the tools better and teaching themselves out of desire to understand more. For better or for worse, the youth are drawn to digital anything and are exploding to show what they can do with it; and I feel like they feel more 'grown up' or creatively successful or intelligent in using these tools.

# data[].attributes.body
Students can apply what they know using digital tools by being given choice in how they "show" their work. For example, instead of writing an essay in google docs, they could choose to create a slide show. Many of my students enjoyed that alternative during distance learning once they became more familiar with how it worked.

Students can create a slideshow to teach other students about a section of a chapter. They can embed videos and images. A resource slide at the end is crucial to teach students not to plagiarize at any age. When creating the slideshow, students can work in teams with the understanding that they are responsible for teaching the class. Students learn better when expected to teach. Working in heterogeneous teams keeps them accountable.
