KOTESOL International Conference 2016
(Concurrent Session)
Victor Reeser, Associate Professor, Suwon Science College
Simple Formative Assessment Methods in the Connected Classroom
Abstract
All forms of assessment fall into two categories: formative and summative. Consistent formative assessment has a significant impact on student learning, and this workshop will introduce resources and methods that will assist a teacher with this task.
The first resource is a browser-based tool that has been gaining a lot of momentum recently, Kahoot!. It allows teachers to create simple games involving pictures, diagrams, video clips, and music. The next resource is Memrise, an application focused on learning vocabulary. Teachers are able to create their own vocabulary lists, upload audio clips, and track student progress through a point system. The last resource is Google Forms, another free tool that can be used to both review and assess retention of material covered in class.
