Fun with Formative Assessments
-Allows you to create questions (or the kids can create questions and you approve them).
-Allows you to randomly put kids into teams. On Kahoot you have to already have the teams made.
-Layout of screen is very similar to Kahoot so it is easy to use.
-Current drawback is that you can only have 3 free kits at a time. Premium version is available for like $8/month or like $5/month if you buy a whole year at once.
-After playing, there is a report that is generated so you can review what questions were answered wrong so that you can review before assessment.
-As you get questions correct, you get “money” to purchase things in the online store on GimKit.com. (Ex. Music, Level-ups, etc.)
Use Google Drawings to create “Book Snaps” (pictures of books they are reading) that you can “write” on to answer questions or show examples of what was required for assignment. Or you can use Google Slides or See Saw for the whole class to answer a question or show the work they did in class.

-She used it to put topics out there for the students to do / show on their snow days. (Ex. Did you read a book? Did you bake something? Did you build something in the snow? Etc. Then the kids could post something to answer these topics.)

-Premium (platform) version costs money, but it is worth it so that you don’t have to set up all of the questions.
