Formative

       Wouldn't it be nice if teachers could monitor all of their student's work at the same time and intervene when necessary? We know the ratio of teacher to students is significantly different, but as teachers we have learned different ways of managing a classroom to meet the needs of all the students. One way that teachers have begun to monitor their students' progress is through the use of technology. A particular website the works well is called Formative.

      Formative is a free online source that allows teachers or educators the ability to watch their students work in real time.This website allows them to create homework, class work and even assessments to the particular subject they're teaching. In each thing they create they have the option of adding multiple choice, a typed response or "showing their work" button for the students to respond to. Once the task has been created you provide your students with either the access code or a shareable link. As the students are working you can display a view of everyone in real time which means that you can instantly give feedback or assistance as you see fit. It also allows you to grade it on the spot and export it to wherever you desire. This website reduces the time that it takes to reach each individual student and gives them a grade instantly.
