 * Rating:** 9/10
 * Description:** Artsonia is an online portfolio website for artists pre-K through grade 12. It allows teachers and artists to photograph student artwork using digital cameras, mobile phones, tablets, and/or document cameras and post them to both a student's portfolio and a class site. Teachers can include a project overview, students can include artist statements about their work, they can also list “awards and honors,” and other users can comment on their work to provide feedback in and out of the classroom. Family members are encouraged to join their family member’s “fan club” in order to see the student’s work and are encouraged to provide feedback by leaving comments or by sending an electronic postcard with the student’s artwork. Student identities can be kept confidential or simply listed with the first name and last initial. Artwork can be easily uploaded by students using an ipad and a QR code for their class, thus allowing them to be in control of how the final product looks online.
 * Alignment with strategy:** Students and teachers share project information via the web site. All members of “the team” (students, teachers, and family members) can view and comment on the artwork posted. They can all see the student’s progress throughout their years since the online portfolio continues to grow as the student adds artwork. Unless a student or teacher deletes a particular piece of work, all pieces are saved in the student’s online portfolio.

Jenna Hough Providing Feedback **Resource:** Kahoot - Educational website/app
 * Rating: ** 8/10
 * Description: ** Kahoot is a website where you can create surveys, quizzes, and discussions in a game-like format. I believe the idea of a game helps to motivate students to engage. The teacher/creator designs the questions, or you can find public Kahoots available, and students are asked to punch in a code from their device to join the Kahoot. My experience is with the quiz format, and I really appreciate that it provides myself and my students immediate feedback about their understanding.
 * Alignment w/ Strategy: **It aligns with the strategy because it provides immediate feedback to teacher and students after each question by showing a bar graph of which answers were selected. It also shows top students during the game, and at the end provides an overall graph. This helps the students to know immediately if they were correct with confidentiality, and where they are in their understanding. It also helps the teacher understand what areas of content might need more review.

Shawn Peklo Providing Feedback Resource: [|SMART: Senteo Assessment] Rating: 8/10 Description:SMART: Senteo Assessment is designed to get immediate responses and answers to questions that students have been given before, during, and at the end of a lesson or chapter. It can also be used for both quizzes and tests for a given section or chapter. The program is designed to show the teacher what answer an individual student selected and show how the majority of the class answered a certain question. Students can use remotes given to them or with updated versions of the software can use tablets, phones, and laptops to answer questions related to the lesson or chapter. This classroom response program will gauge what the students have learned and will show the teacher what he or she needs to go back and reinforce in the lesson or chapter before moving on. As an educator, going back and giving the same quiz at a later date to again check for understanding will ensure that the students have indeed understood the lesson or chapter. Senteo can also be a way of getting insight from students who do not respond during class discussions because certain students do not like to participate in a class discussion. This program can allow teachers to find out why students answered the way they did and create a better discussion moving forward in the classroom.

Jaclyn Trahan Resource: Go Formative Educational Website URL: Click [|Here] Rating: 10/10 Description: Go Formative is a website that provides the teacher and student with immediate feedback. It is a free site and with a teacher account I would recommend creating classes. Students can join without a class, but the class allows you to grade and score the assignments you created. The site offers pre-made assignments to help you get started and offers a variety of ways to create your own. For instance, you can upload assignments as PDF’s or DOCS, images, and videos. Furthermore, students can answer with drawing tools, short-response, and multiple choice. Alignment with Strategy: While students are answering questions, the teacher can see a live-feed of each student’s work. This allows the teacher immediate feedback on what the student is doing. The teacher can walk around and talk with students, or even open up that students work and give them feedback in written form. In Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works, authors Pitler, Hubbell, and Kuhn (2012) share “providing feedback that addresses what is correct and elaborates on what students need to do next...in time to meet students’ needs” (p. 38). Go Formative does all that and I would strongly encourage you to check it out!

Ryan Brown Plickers - Website/App Rating: 7/10 Plickers is a low-tech alternative to your class response systems. Students utilize cards with QR codes printed on them to present their answer to the teacher. The orientation of the card will determine if the student answers A, B, C, or D. The teacher will have the app downloaded to their smartphone or tablet camera and scan the room when the students hold up their cards. The program stores the answers and can breakdown the questions in multiple ways so the teacher can see how each class answers. Cards can be connected to specific students by setting up an account so when the card is scanned, it records who answered the question and how they answered it to your account. A teacher could use this as a way to do a quick check for understanding or ticket out the door. The program will allow you to see which questions gave your class the most difficulty and which questions they seem to master. It also allows you to see which students are struggling and which students are getting the material. The upside to using Plickers is the fact that it is a low-cost solution to a class response system. While the movement of holding up a card seems minimal, students do enjoy answering questions this way. The downside is only multiple choice questions can be used and the questions can only be posed one at a time. Students cannot work ahead. This program is an effective means of gaining feedback from the whole class quickly and in a manner that seems to break up the routine.

Sarah Kemmer Providing Feedback Resource: [|Google Forms] Educational Website/App Rating: 8/10 <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Description:Google Forms is a free tool through Google Docs that allows users (those who have a google account) to create surveys and send through a link to other participants. By going through google drive, you are able to create assessments, worksheets, exit slips and quizzes. Within each of these questionnaires there are a variety of responses one can make. Once form is created and completed by participants, results are available through Google Spreadsheet. Google Forms is a great way to create end of lessons exit slips for those with technology readily available for quick responses. This tool allows for paperless assessments as well as a great <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment w/ Strategy: Google Forms aligns with the topics discussed in Chapter 1 by allowing educations to collect data analyze information retained by the students. By having readily available information educators are able to see where students strengths and weaknesses are. This also allows for collection of data to be easily obtained among mass groups of people.

Facebook was initially used for people to connect with people all over the world. Facebook has become a tool used in the educational relm to connect students and parents with work they are currently doing. Facebook can be a fabulous tool for students to provide feedback to other students on assignments or projects. It also can be used for parents to see on a daily basis what their child is doing in school. Through Facebook teachers can create private groups that only can be assessed by students or parents in the classroom. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment w/ Strategy: Facebook aligns with the topic Providing Feedback discussed in Chapter 1 by allowing a whole group to use a website easily available to all students to comment on work, start discussion boards and share pictures or videos. I use this website to provide feedback to my parents as much as I use it for my students. Parents love to be connected with their child's educational life and what not a better place then facebook. It also creats a community within my parents to share ideas with each other and share experiences. Considering my students have severe impairments it allows the parents to not feel alone and part of something.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Rating: 9/10 <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Description: Seesaw gives students the opportunity to create their own digital learning portfolio. The app is super easy to navigate through and you can get your class ready in minutes. Students and teachers have the ability to upload photos, files, videos, and now they can even create a screencast within the app. Seesaw is app smashing friendly as well which means most other content creating or editing apps can upload right into each child's portfolio. Students have the opportunity to use their voice and explain their thinking with each and every post. Parents are easily connected and get instant notifications when students make a post. The nice thing is, parents can ONLY see their child's work. Students now have a truly authentic audience when they display their learning on Seesaw.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment with Strategy: Using Seesaw, not only does the teacher have access to providing feedback but their peers within the classroom, parents, and students from around the world can also provide feedback. I've connected with a third grade classroom in Hong-KONG and my students recently received feedback from their peers around the world on a social studies project. My students love to see comments or questions from their parents and other students in class. They have a few minutes each day to provide meaningful comments to each other. During this time, I'm also scrolling through the class feed and asking questions or leaving other feedback on their work. If you choose, Seesaw will send you a notification each time a student creates a post or makes a comment on another students work. This allows me to provide instant feedback to my students. Providing students will instant and quality feedback is crucial to showing students the importance of the assignment or project. After a while, many students lose interest or motivation to do better if feedback isn't given in a timely matter.

The current structure has changed, but the buttons do similar things. After learning how to set up quizzes and the options to use quizzes for open study or quick checks on learning, it is a useful tool. Questions can be multiple-choice, True/False or short answer. With limited guidance to my fellow instructors (mock students), they were able to test different settings. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment with strategy: The application can be used for entry or exit cards and formative assessments during the lesson. the results page will show the answer to questions for each person, if selected. this eliminates the student "shout out" during class. This app lacks the ability to view how many students are complete in real time. Results are posted after the instructor closes the quiz.

Students are guided through virtual scenarios, called "Gizmos," either through whole group instruction, or individually. Students respond to questions on a "Student Exploration Sheet," then take an assessment on the concept that they have just been guided through. A 30 day trial is available, but purchasing the program requires receiving a quote from the company, which appears to have a sliding scale, based on number of users. The various Gizmos can be located by standard, topic, or textbook, allowing for alignment of lessons. While the directions for the virtual situations are straightforward, students do need the self-direction to and focus to interact with the program. After taking the brief assessment, the correct answers are explained, whether children answer correctly or incorrectly. The program is designed for grades 3-12, and while, the Gizmos are designed age appropriately to motivate students and free of ads, it appears that the assessments are confined to multiple choice questions.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">Alignment with Strategy: <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #222222; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: small;">This instructional interactive effectively provides feedback in a number of ways (Pitler, Hubbell, & Kuhn, 2012, p. 38). The interactive nature of the program provides students with immediate feedback, while the Student Exploration Sheet directs students to the next step. Additionally, the multiple choice assessment is based on the standards or specific topic that is being taught. Feedback is given directly to the student, explaining what was correct or incorrect about their answer, but the program seems to lack a "next step" guidance to help students understand their mistake further

It can be used through the browser or via connected apps on a smartphone or tablet. It allows live meetings with up to 25 participants, and features screen sharing and online chat capabilities. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #111111; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.66px; vertical-align: baseline;">**Alignment with strategy:** Students can receive real-time feedback from their teachers and peers. Video conferencing can be an excellent tool for connecting with students and providing feedback, especially in a distance learning environment. Google Hangouts can enable teachers to meet with several students at once or allow students to work cooperatively with each other.

With the different colors for the comments, this allows the student to easily see who the comments are coming from. The student can share the document several ways including sending the piece out through email. The only downside that I can see to this is that it only allows for one person to evaluate the piece at a time, unlike programs like Google Docs and similar programs.

 * Rating: 6 out of 10
 * JumpRope offers several instructor options to help track student performance and provide feedback during a course. Once the courses has been built and the students are added to each course, an instructor would have access to tracking attendance, the student’s mastery level, comments, and reports for each course. The webpage offers serval options on how to interact with your students, but some of the downfalls of the webpage would be that you can’t change how you grade once you have set up the account (rubric or percentage are the only options) and it feel very time consuming to set it up for the first time.
 * Once the webpage was correctly set up and the time investment made the website would help provide a comprehensive look into a student’s performance for the week/month/semester. The website may provide some learning challenges for parents, but could open up the channels of communication because then parents and students could access their portion of the website when it is convenient for them and increase interactions.

 * Resource:** [|Quizzizz]
 * Rating:** 9/10 I think this resource is great! Students are easily engaged and focused on answering questions correctly. There are many settings that teachers can change so that they have the best fit for a quizzizz with their students. The only con I can think of is that students can type the name they would like to use when joining a quiz. This could cause problems when trying to keep track of student data.
 * Description:** Quizzizz is very similar to Kahoot. It is a web-based program that gives students a “quiz” on various topics however, in quizzizz, questions are scrambled so that students are not reciving the same question at the same time. There is also the option of having students work on it at their own pace instead of completing it as a whole group. Teachers have the option remove or keep a timer on questions. Teachers are able to select from quizzizz that have already been created or they can create their own. They also have the option to duplicate and make changes to previously made quizziz.
 * Alignment with Strategy:** This tool aligns with the strategy of providing feedback because as students work, they are immediately receiving information about whether or not the question they answered is correct. Teachers also have the option of turning on the “quiz review.” This allows students to see all of the questions and their answers at the end of the quiz. Teachers also receive immediate feedback in a report. You are able to look at a breakdown of questions and the percentage correct or, a breakdown per student.

 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Rating: **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">8/10 - One of the biggest inconveniences of Pear Deck is that there is a restriction with the free user agreement on the number of imported slide presentations. Also, imported slides may not be edited. Those slides must be kept as is during the presentation. Slides may be added around them though. With that being said, it is highly convenient for an established teacher to use their pre-existing presentations. Some of the BEST features about this site include: view duality - teacher and student screens can show different information, links to outside resources are easily incorporated, focus remains on the presentation because it moves on its own, students can write answers and teacher can give immediate feedback, students can only see others´ answers when the teacher wants them to. Finally, it does require laptop/chromebook/iPad access for all or most of the students.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Description: **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;"> Pear Deck is an online presentation resource which allows teachers to present information in an interactive way for students. The instructors have the choice to either import a previously made slide presentation, or they can create a new presentation within the Pear Deck site. Each slide has the projector view and the student view, which allows for multiple screen views to enhance understanding. The projector view will show one portion of the presentation, and the student view, which will appear on the studentś device, will show another portion. While the projector view is very basic (offering image, text, or video), the student view is very dynamic: it can redirect the student to view a separate webpage for information; it can allow for the student to enter a free response to a question posted on the projector view; it can allow the students to drag, drop, or draw on their screen; it can even present a multiple choice question for students to answer. The teacher can see each studentś response, and they can allow students to see all responses as well. The student view of the presentation takes place on their entire screen, so that they are unable to access other sites during the activity. As the presenter clicks through the slideshow, the students' screens click through independently and at the same pace. This web resource is vital to enhancing lecture-style material. Any educator can use this tool to assess how well a group is following the lesson, understanding material, and applying it, simply by asking an appropriate question while right in the presentation. The presentation can be saved at the end and reviewed later if scores need to be attached. There is also the possibility of using real classroom examples to show common mistakes as they happen. Then the presentation continues and no one needs to have clicked out of it.
 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Alignment with Strategy: **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Pear Deck has the unique ability to tie lecture style knowledge building with immediate formative feedback. Since the instructor can see student responses, they can hone in on individuals who are not understanding the material. Incorrect answers can be used as an example for common mistakes, and then the presentation can move forward smoothly and easily. It would be simple to click back to previous slides to correct any misconceptions as well. This program amplifies those lessons that require a bit of knowledge building through lecture.

It would be beneficial in assessing comprehension in both regular classrooms as well as with flipped learning. Accessibility is a plus for this app because it can be accessed from any device. Students also do not need to have an email address to login. They can access this app through Google. Teachers have access to immediate feedback as to whether students are comprehending the material. Students are able to receive immediate feedback from teachers and other classmates in response to their questions and comments.


 * <span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Description: **<span style="font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 14.3px;">The students are asked questions and are given the opportunity to respond. They cannot see the other student's responses until after they have responded themselves. This allows for genuine creative thinking and authentic ideas. Responses are kept anonymous between students which allows the student to feel confident in sharing their answers, questions, or comments free from judgment of classmates. Teachers however, are able to see who made which comments. Teachers are also able to check feedback tools within the app that allow them to to see and gauge the level of participation of each individual student.

It can work in several different types of classrooms and settings as well as for homework. As a tool for feedback, it is very successful for both the teacher and the student. It allows the teacher to identify comprehension problems and adjust teaching styles immediately based on student feedback. The teacher can then offer feedback for the student based on those answers. Verso allows for a mutually beneficial relationship between student engagement, feedback, and effective teaching strategies.

 * Resources**: Kahoot- Website/App


 * Rating**: 9/10


 * Description**: Kahoot is an education platform that is used by over 50 million people in over 180 countries. It is used to help study and provide information about a certain objective or subject. It provides instant feedback and ways you can help remember and get better at the subject/objective. It shows the answer selections by the group of people participating in bar graph form.


 * Alignment with Strategy**: This platform aligns with the strategy by providing lightning quick feedback of which answers were selected, which groups was right, why they were right, and how to get it next time. Another factor Kahoot brings is providing feedback to the teacher with the lesson/objective that her students might lack in or surpass in, which helps the teacher focus on the main things instead of the little ones.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Google Docs is a free web-based application. Through the application, the students can design documents, spreadsheets, edited, and stored online. The existence of the internet is necessary, and the students need to create an account to use the application. Whit this application, the students can work together at the same time instead of meeting face to face; which makes it easier, and it saves the time for many students. Moreover, the students can share their works online with their instructors.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Alignment with Strategy: **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 16px;">Google Docs gives the chance for the instructors to provide their feedback to their students on the same documents that the students share with them. The feedback feature is not limit only to the teachers but it gives the students an opportunity to make a peer review for each other. Also, this application shows the instructors who did the work from the students, which makes it easier for the teachers to offer the students the grades and the feedback individually. There are many advantages in the Google Docs but I like the most it is able to send letters to the students’ parents to keep them on track.

Starfall has a series of different educational features used to assist in the learning and development of children's literacy and mathematical skills. Games such as calendar helper, alphabet sorting, alphabet sound and counting one to one. Such features align with instruction which allows children to use technology to piggyback off teacher-led instruction.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Alignment with Strategy: This platform aligns with the strategy by providing developmentally appropriate games and other interactive activities to ensure that children are having fun while learning. After children are finished playing the games, they can give surveys on whether or not they liked it. This allows Starfall to be able to determine whether or not to continue to use the game for educational purposes.
