Common Game Assessments
Common game assessments are Quizizz, Kahoot!, Gimkit, and Blooket. These are good for checking for understanding, recall, review. A lot of the time these are for formative assessment pieces. However, during COVID’s distance learning, a lot of these also got switched into summative assessments because we weren’t in person with students. These were tools that students already knew and then just turned into tests and quizzes, just like self-grading Google Forms. In my experience, when we returned to the building, we still weren’t allowed to share materials (so no paper passed back and forth), so these tools still held their place as all forms of assessment. Even now, I know people who will still use these as summative assessment tools because they can grade themselves and give so much more data on students than a paper/pencil test.
