Assessment Tools on my Pinterest Board
Kahoot
Create, play and share fun learning games for any subject, for all ages, for free!
Quizizz
Quizizz is an engaging review game that students love. It has a lot of similarities to the incredibly popular Kahoot, but also offers many unique features. Like Kahoot, students are awarded points based on how quickly they answer each question. Unlike Kahoot, each student answers questions at their own pace. Students are provided with immediate feedback, and can even review their results while they wait for other students to finish.
Teachers can search from a large number of publicly available Quizizz, or they can make their own with the easy to use quiz editor. It’s easy for students to join. A unique code is generated for each game. Students simply go to join.quizizz.com and enter the code.

Google Drive Tools for Crating Rubrics
http://www.educatorstechnology.com/2015/10/here-is-excellent-google-drive-tool-for.html
OrangeSlice:Teacher Rubric is an interesting Google Docs add-on to use for creating rubric selections and converting the Analysis or Holistic rubric into a percentage or points grade. This app, according to its developer, comes to fill in the grading deficiency in Google Classroom and Docs. As he stated, ‘Google docs and Classroom are fantastic applications to create, distribute and receive submitted assignments from students. However, the grading process seems to bring the efficiency to a screeching halt. Where can the grade be placed so it stands out from the assignment? How can rubric selections be made easily? I like rubrics but the final grade can be tedious to calculate.
