Ideas to Try

How can you use Formative?
Formative Check 
      -Make a pre-test to gauge student content knowledge prior to a lesson or unit. 
      -Use True or False or Fill-in-the-Blank to check student understanding.
      -Have students Show Their Response and perform a brain dump of all that they learned about a topic.
      -Give students an equation to practice solving to test their understanding.
      -Ask for an audio or video response to hear or see how students feel about what they learned or to express their confusion.
      -Have students complete an exit ticket before leaving class. 
      -Create a homework assignment. 
Summative Assessment
      -Upload your assessments from Google Drive so students can complete them from anywhere.
      -Ask students to show their work, explain a concept, or teach what they know. 
Lesson Builder
      -Add variety to your lesson with different content pieces such as videos, images, PDFs, and more. 
      -House a whole lesson on one Formative for students to access any time from anywhere.
      -Assemble a worksheet to be used in conjunction with a lesson.
Interactive Activity
      -Create activities that ask students to categorize, drag and drop, or resequence content.
      -Use Hot Spot or Hot Text to have students analyze spots on an image or text on a document. This would be great for practicing citing evidence.
