Tetrad for Smartphones as Formative Assessments

Smartphones in the classroom provide new ways of formative assessments in the classroom.  The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) movement could make traditional classroom response systems obsolete.  Meanwhile, these different assessment applications available on most Smartphones rekindle the ease of Scantron tests by quickly scoring assessments and providing classroom data to discover trends.  In the future, as tablets become more and more available, these types of assessments will continue to grow to provide more information to educators.

I appreciated your post. I didn't even think about using Smartphones for assessment. My school district did not purchase the response systems that go with the interactive white boards. This would be a good idea if they decide to go to BYOD.
