Using Book Creator for Formative Assessment

Using Book Creator for Formative Assessment is the latest in our series of ebooks, created in Book Creator, aimed at resourcing teachers and developing new ways to use the app in your classroom.

This book is authored by the excellent Dr. Monica Burns (ClassTechTips.com) and focuses on a topic she's already covered in her webinar series, and a subject on which she can be considered an expert.

It’s so important to give students different ways to “show you what they know.” Formative assessment is all about figuring out what children understand and what misconceptions they have so you can plan future instruction to meet the needs of students in your class. With technology tools like Book Creator teachers can listen in to student voices, capture their thinking and have a shareable product that documents their growth.

This book contains 15 illustrative tips for using Book Creator to check for understanding, for example:

• Goal setting
• Daily/weekly logs
• Feedback loops
• Checklists
