Spiral Formative Assessments

Love Nearpod or Socrative? Take a look at Spiral.

Spiral is student-engagement platform with formative assessment tools such as quizzes, interactive presentations, polls, and video discussion similar to Edpuzzle. In addition, Spiral has a tool called Team Up.  Teachers can group students through their devices into customized roles ready for group work. After brainstorming and delivering a final presentation, teachers can see the work done by each student — even if it never made it into the final product.
