Edmodo’s new tool Snapshot makes pre and post assessment a snap. Snapshot is aligned with the Common Core State Standards, so it allows you to choose which topic you want to test your students on. For example: my next unit is Fractions NF.1 for Fourth Grade: When you go into Snapshot you can select this standard as a pre-assessment for your students to see their understanding of the topic. Snapshot makes embedding standards a snap. After you take the Snapshot, you can then review your results and see which students need additional support or meet the standards. This feature compiles the data results in an easily interpretable spreadsheet, allowing the teacher to monitor and adjust lessons midstream in order to meet the needs of students in real time. Potential follow-up activities are suggested and emphasized to make differentiating simpler. For example: After students read an informational text for key ideas and details, a teacher can view results immediately to group students based on comprehension and application of the standard. Students who have varied mastery of the standard will have either guided practice or independent practice, depending on their needs. Needs of all students are then met, not just high fliers or students who struggle, but all students, all the time. The quiz feature on Edmodo will also allow you to view how students did on individual lessons so you could review any questions or topics students might be struggling with.
