Formative assessments can be used to inform instruction rather than punish students. This document discusses several formative assessment tools including Kahoot, Quizizz, and Google Forms. With these tools, teachers can create quizzes and surveys to gather real-time feedback from students. This feedback provides information to teachers on students' understanding of concepts as well as areas where more instruction is needed. The tools also motivate students and engage them in the learning process through features like leaderboards, memes, and gamification.
