5 Formative Assessment Tools
for the Millennial Educator

Assessment Tools
Summative Assessment. Midterms. Finals. Historically,
this has been the focus of the American educator. But as
we move into the digital classroom, teachers are beginning
to worry more about how students learn, rather than
their SAT scores.
STUDENTS ARE INDIVIDUALS
Students are more than just numbers and statistics,
more than just groups of percentiles. Students are
individuals. And with the help of some innovative
digital tools, educators can grade these students
more efficiently, and also glean important informa-
tion from these grades in order to provide a better
learning experience.

5 Formative
Assessment Tools:
1. Naiku
Naiku is a digital platform that allows educators to assess students’ understand-
ing of classroom material. By providing instant feedback, educators get a clear-
er picture of student comprehension. A versatile tool in the classroom, Naiku
features automatic assessment grading, as well as automatic transfer of grades.
It is able to scan bubble sheets and monitor assessment when educators or
learners are outside of the classroom via the cloud.
Furthermore, educators can conduct class polls in real-time in order to gauge
understanding. With the changing climate of education, one that is beginning
to question the relevance of standardized testing, Naiku is a refreshing tool
that emphasizes the importance of how we learn, rather than the test results.
Offering different packages for individual educators or entire school districts,
Naiku’s pay-as-you-go model is extremely accessible.

2. WriterKey
WriterKey is a web-based application that aims to help educators improve the
teaching and assessment of writing across the curriculum. All you need is inter-
net access to use the app on any mobile device, or in conjunction with Google
and Google Drive.
One of the key features of the app is the digital portfolio. This allows educators
to access and assess a student’s work overtime through different grade levels.
WriterKey features real-time feedback and stores all feedback and notes digi-
tally. This creates an environment that enables teachers not only to track prog-
ress, but to encourage revision and offer clear constructive criticism. No more
sloppy, illegible feedback!

3. MasteryConnect
MasteryConnect makes a lot of room for customization. It offers both state and
core curriculum standards and permits teachers to mix and match standard
sets. With MasteryConnect, educators can assess a wide range of content,
from oral to written assessments.
To identify the particular needs of students, MasteryConnect utilizes a color
code system of red, yellow and green to denote mastery of a topic or alert edu-
cators about struggling students. This information can be shared with parents,
which further facilitates a productive digital learning environment.

4. EssayTagger
EssayTagger is a web-based essay grading tool created by a teacher to alleviate
some of the tedium of grading. This is not an auto-grader; it still requires edu-
cators to do the work. However, it does help streamline the grading process.
EssayTagger makes it easy to identify the core elements of student essays
and then evaluate them with a custom rubric designed by the educator.
As is the norm these days, users of EssayTagger can provide feedback that
will automatically be saved on the web, and make edits as they see fit.
As more papers are graded on EssayTagger, more comments will be
compiled and saved, which allows educators to quickly address repetitive
issues across multiple assignments.

5. Nearpod
Nearpod has the same standard features of many formative assessment
platforms. What sets it apart, however, is that it can be used by teachers to
create web-based presentations and sync all students’ devices to them.
From there, teachers can either guide learners through the presentations
or allow them to participate in self-guided instruction.
Moreover, since Nearpod is mobile responsive, it encourages a responsible
culture of consumption, rather than penalize students for using what has
become a modern life staple.
