Easy Formative Assessment

For English and math teachers, Edmodo has introduced a sweet app that makes formative assessment a snap.  Perhaps that's why it's name is "Snapshot."

Snapshot will quickly create an assessment based on the standards chosen by the teacher.  It is already loaded with the Virginia Standards of Learning.  The best part is that the teacher does not have to create the questions!!  How cool is that?

You could create a Shapshot for the beginning of the lesson, quickly create another for the middle to see where you should go with the rest of the lesson, and then create yet another at the end.  It's that easy.  Because Snapshot has a very large database of questions, the students do not receive the same questions in repeated assessments.

Once students complete the assessment, teachers have access to reports that indicate which standards students have mastered.

Even if you use Edmodo only for Snapshot, you will find it very worth your time.
