What Users Love About the App
“Formative has made it so much easier for me this year while teaching online and in the classroom concurrently. It’s a lifesaver and I recommend it to everyone.”
“Love Formative! And huge shout out to them (and so many other platforms) offering free premium/team features during the Covid crisis!”
“I have just become a Formative Certified Educator. Yay! You can too! Formative is a wonderful tool to assess your students, provide feedback, and do it all almost instantly! Work with and learn from educators from all over.”
“Makes it so much easier to type up the homeschool lessons for my daughter. The new Formative is even better, I’m so glad I was given the chance to check it out!”
“Great tool use with students. I really like how they now added the capability to attach and videos to a formative assessment. The students find it easy to use and they enjoy the live feedback they get from Formative. On the teacher side, I love the ability to see ALL the students work live. I would highly suggest this for any educator!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“The new version of the Formative website really sucks and is a significant downgrade from what there was there originally. For example, while you can preview an assignment, once the assignment has been assigned you cannot view student responses unless you re-assign the assignment to a class.”
“I would like to be able to upload videos because YouTube is blocked in our district. Also if teachers are able to upload their own videos, they will be able to make clips of longer videos or create their own.”
“One thing that may help is to provide for a “turn-it-in” feature for plagiarism, although I realize that is not the goal of the product. Some videos of interpreting the data and trends would better help in understanding the data.”
“How to move assignments from one class to another. I tried to assign a previous assignment to students who joined later created class and didn’t quite know how to make the assignment available to the new students.”
“Allow teachers to have a built in feedback bank of responses maybe in a drop down form. Example: Great Job!; Check your answer and make corrections.; etc”
