ActivePrompt is a cool and simple resource. The site allows you to upload a jpeg for students. You can then create a list of directions. Students then have the chance to move a red dot around the image. It seems simple, and it is. However, it is a powerful tool for formative assessment. The red dot is anonamous. Students place it wherever they feel. I have used the site often to gauge student rediness and confidence for upcoming assessments. Its also a good tool when discussing opinions, espeically on a scale. It can replace the walking debate or always/sometimes/never strucutre when students are not in the classroom or are unable to move around the room. Simply grab an image you would like and edit a scale or timeline on to the picture (this can be done in PPT). Upload that image (with your new scale imposed on it) and now your students can mark their dots on the scale. It is another simple and quick tool.
