Gentlemen (and ladies)…start your cell phones

Online formative assessment can be a quick, easy, and fun way to assess students.

Most kids have a cell phone. For those that don’t, they can partner up with someone, or you can give them a chrome book, netbook, or iPad to use.

Some of the following methods allow you to export student scores for grading purposes.
