You can get a response from everyone, even those that don't like to answer out loud. Each learner has to try, rather than "follow the herd" so i can keep track of their understanding.
Pair Definitions Each students finds or is given several words on the topic. They write the word, then their definition, and fold the paper so only the definition is visible. Next students writes what they think the word is. Formative assessment, but also helps with literacy skills.
Bingo There are one word answers to questions on the bingo sheets. The students have to get the correct answer before they can stamp the sheet. Outcome of game is random, but in a small group I can see who knows the answer and who is struggling. If you play the game over and over in one session, you can see learning happening by repetition.

Poll Everywhere allows you to preconfigure pop-quizzes or create them on the fly with your students providing live feedback to you in various formats. Create a word map to encourage further discussion, an open-ended question or a multi-choice quiz to evaluate progress and give you the opportunity to redress any topics which may need a bit more work before moving on.  You can graph responses in real time to stimulate further discussion.

Body Language
From the first time I set foot in a classroom to I realised the value of paying attention to student's body language. It can tell you a lot about the student's learning style and understanding of the topic and provides a means of constant formative assessment.  A student who's struggling with a concept may appear stressed, shut-down or confused.  Recognising this gives an opportunity to assist the student or direct them resources to get them back on track.
Exit Slip
I haven't used this myself yet but like that it offers an opportunity for the student to reflect on their lesson and provides me with clues as to who I may need to engage with more.]]> 2018-07-14 04:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/y3mf733millz/wish/270183077 https://padlet.com/itsupport4/y3mf733millz/wish/270184198 Kahoot: This is a free game-based learning platform. Great for review sessions. You can track individual student progress from the data sheet you can download once they have completed it. You can set it as 'homework' where they can do quizzes as many times as they like ,other students cant see their progress, it provides them with instant results and I can view their attempts/results to see how they are tracking and what concepts they are struggling with. (posted  link below)

Worksheets: I find these fantastic, students review them prior to summative assessments. I make sure that we go through the answers/ share answers as a class. These sheets contain key questions from the lecture, again another good way to get them prepared for a summative assessment as they can review this at anytime.

Exit card/slip: I can see this working well in my lessons, it will be a great way for students to reflect on the material delivered as well as inform me on what they did or didn't understand well etc. Often students are shy and don't speak up about what don't understand so the exit card will be a good way for me to identify this and help rectify that. ]]> 2018-07-14 05:06:27 UTC https://padlet.com/itsupport4/y3mf733millz/wish/270184198 https://padlet.com/itsupport4/y3mf733millz/wish/270219888 Student-based mentoring: I have recently resorted to this in a situation where too large a number of students were under-acheiving. The idea is that seeding small groups with students that have grasped a concept is a natural way to get information across efficiently and without unnecessarily singling out under-acheiving students. I have experienced this in two classes teaching the same subject on different days. In one group this idea appeared more or less organically, with the more advanced students doing the networking off their own bat. In the second class, with more entrenched groups, I had to do this more artificially by encouraging high-acheiving students to 'help'. I think it is important to do this in a way which is not coerced i.e. the achieving students have a choice to help or not, but have found that the students enjoy the idea of getting a different angle from a peer and benefit accordingly.
TeacherPal: I typically use a cold-calling approach to ensure all students have a chance to participate, but have occasionally unintentionally erred on the side of singling out students. The use of a free app to randomly allocate students, which the students themselves know is picking them randomly, seems like a useful way to fairly enhance the participation of all students.

After learning about a specific 'nurse clinic', my students will be required to simulate or 'create' a nurse clinic in which they need to perform skills in communication, animal handling and animal care, plus show knowledge in regards to that specific clinic. This requires them to apply what they have learned in the previous lecture and allows me to see whether or not they can actually apply what they learned successfully.
Exit Slips: I think this will be an interesting way to get feedback and see how my students are learning/what are they actually taking in from my teaching. I would structure my questions as follows:
3. Things I learned today (theory) OR 3. Things I think I did well today (practical)
2. Things I found interesting (theory) OR 2. Things I need to improve on (practical)
1. Question I have about today (theory and practical).
Anecdotal Notebook: I already use a notebook to keep track of individual students as they come through on clinical placement. I find this is a helpful way to record my observations about their skill levels so that when I need to give them feedback I can do so accurately. It also allows me to see which areas they are doing well in and which areas they need to improve on.
