This is very useful information regarding integration of various instructional technology strategies to incorporate formative assessments. Is this a compilation of various resources or from a single site that I can reference to others?
Hello TwinTech, We are glad that you find this information useful. Unfortunately it is not from a single site that you can reference to others. This post was inspired by an article in the Educational Technology E-Newsletter. However, keep an 'eye to the monitor' for a follow-up posting that will list sites that can be used for the formative assessments described. We appreciate your comments.
