Evaluate 1.1.1 – Formative Assessment Quest

There are many ways to assess your online student in a formative manner. In my gifted education courses for teachers I have them do several things:

1. Discussion Boards/Forums- I will ask a question and have them respond so I can see what their thoughts are and if they are on the same page. I also have them respond to other students in the class.

2. I also LOVE anything Google- I use Google Forms for my surveys, disposition outcomes, etc... Attached is a link to a form in my gifted endorsement course for them to reflect on their Odyssey of the Mind Judging practicum.

3. I believe in giving students CHOICES- rather they are adults or children! In the gifted world a Think-Tac-Toe Menu allows instructors to set up the menu in a way to force students to do specific DOK or Bloom's level activities while giving them the freedom of choice. Here is an example of a Think-Tac-Toe that I use with teachers in my online gifted assessment course.
