Great Tools for Backchannels & Informal Assessments

Recently I attended NCTIES and found some amazing tools for Bachchannels and Informal
Assessments.
The following are just a few that are great tools in the classroom:


  • Backchannel=student friendly chatroom.  Real time feedback. Gives the shy student a voice. Gives an outlet to the super chatty student.
  • Todaysmeet - Has some new moderation tools introduced recently.
    • Grab embed code and embed on your blog or website.
  • Tozzl- Backchannel tools that allows you to give kids things to do
  • Dotstorming - brainstorm and vote on ideas
    • Use to vote on ideas, Pinterest boards, workshop sessions at EDCAMPs, etc.
  • Padlet - has an iPad app w/ QR code, Plickers, Kahoot
  • Quizalize - asynchronous quizzing site, can create teams or do individuals and competitions.
  • GoFormative - great for math teachers
  • Tackk - Similar to Seesaw, create and share pages on the web, collaborate, etc.
  • Remind - Make it two way - Send out a question or poll, kids reply back.
  • Triventy - similar to Quizziz, etc. but kids can submit questions, collaborative quizzes and surveys
