Teachers are required to receive student feedback to assess their knowledge and skill level of a lesson. This week I was able to discover an article that presents a tool called Flipgrid, which allows teachers to gain feedback from their students through the use of technology. Flipgrid allows students to give feedback on topics presented by their teacher through the use of short videos that students record. Not only is the experience engaging, but it is also interactive. Students can also give feedback to their peers by video response. Personally, I would like to use Flipgrid as an exit ticket as a way to formally assess students. However, I could personally think of many ways to use Flipgrid. I would love to know how many grids that teachers are allowed to have open at once? In what ways do you think Flipgrid could be used in your classroom?

Another tool that I like to use as a formal assessment is Kahoot! One instructional strategy that can be used to implement Kahoot! is to use it as a review for the summative assessment. This tool is presented in a game-like format that allows learners to compete against one another. One challenge that can be presented when using Kahoot! as part of a lesson is classroom management. The game can be very competitive and students often can get loud and rowdy while playing.
Let me know what you think about this weeks technology highlights.
