We all like to have fun, however when it comes to school,
teachers often develop creative activities to keep students engaged. With that said, when it comes to informal assessments,
the goal of developing fun ways to assess, can be a little more difficult
to achieve. That is until now. I love when you can assess the class, and
they don’t even realize that an informal assessment is happening. The level of
anxiety immediately dissolves, and the smiles appear! How you may ask…. That answer is achieved
with one word…CLICKERS!!! That is even a
fun word to say!
While I was recently
in Austin at the TCEA conference, Mrs. Boiarsky and I were visiting with a
vendor. We participated in a contest,
and she was awarded a class set of these amazing little devices. They provide amazing technology techniques
that allow the teacher to make sure each student is answering and show the class a graph about how they answered as a class. The desired transformation of making assessment fun has
just taken its next step!!
