Welcome to another online tool to allow for Formative Assessment and engage students in discussion. Answer Garden allows the teacher to set up a website that gathers student input and ideas. As students answer a question prompt, their answers appear on the home Answer Garden screen set up by the teacher. Both teacher and students have an opportunity to see what the ideas of the crowd really are. It is simple to use. Since this is a open web tool students should be reminded to not answer with personal or identifying information. No student log in is required. Ways to use Answer Garden:
Pose a Driving Question
Collect ideas and opinions
Look for adjectives that describe a character in a book
Use as a polling mechanism… large words most popular
Look for number of class that can get a correct answer
Incorporate in a Socrative Seminar
