What is so important about formative assessments? Research shows that feedback improves student achievement (Kluger and DiNis 1997) Using technology tools like Kahoot, Socrative, and Nearpod provides that immediate feedback It helps establish where the learners are in their learning so the teaching process can be adjusted
