This document discusses three tools for planning and assessing learning: Kahoot, Gradebook, and Planbook. Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that teachers use to create fun quizzes for students. It saves quiz results and allows teachers to choose question types, add pictures and video, and assign time limits. Gradebook programs allow teachers to electronically track student grades, which automatically calculates averages. Grades are more accurate as human error is removed. Parents can view grades online. Planbook gives teachers an online platform to create lesson plans. It allows teachers to attach files, view past plans, share with colleagues, and create substitute plans. Standards are pre-loaded.

Although teachers keep their grades in
an electronic format, many school districts
still require their teachers to maintain a
paper gradebook.
Parents can see the grades online, which
means (theoretically) that parents will not
call teachers constantly wanting to know
his/her student's average.
Teachers can write comments for parents
to view.
Accessible from any computer...on
campus or off campus, so many find such
programs extremely convenient.
