Online Questioning and Surveys

This week's topic for my blog is online tests and assessments.  Boy are there a lot of options out there!  I was pleasantly surprised to see how many online testing tools I am familiar with already.  

Every online tool is a bit different.  Decide on the purpose of your assessment and then pick an appropriate website tool.  If you are looking for a way to quiz students in groups or as a class, Plickers, Kahoot!, or Socrative are all great options.  If you want to make online quizzes for students and receive instant feedback or grades, I recommend Class Marker.  One unique feature in Class Marker is the ability to ask a question in the form of a video.  This would be great for spelling tests or younger students.  Google Forms is also a great way to quiz students, and it can be integrated in the Google Classroom very easily.

The online assessment tool I became familiar with this week is Survey Monkey.  Surprisingly, I had never used it before.  As a librarian, I want to be able to easily receive feedback from teachers and students so that I know exactly how I can support them in the classroom.  Survey Monkey is a great way to do this.  Check out my survey on Technology.


Then come back and leave a comment on what you think.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    Your blog shares multiple and authentic online testing strategies. These examinations are automated system of evaluation and a quick way of quizzing students knowledge in the beginning of a lesson. I can so see how this assessment tool can be so useful as a librarian.

  3. Tara,
    I love using Survey Monkey to gather information. Also, I love the reports and bar graphs that lvan be generated to help see the results. I found them to be easily read and usable. I've never used Class Marker, but it sounds like I need to check it out!
