Hello. Since we are just starting a new school year I thought I would explain what I use in the form of online assessment so that anyone interested could try it out in their classroom as well. I application I use is Quia. I have used it for about 5 years and am very pleased with the service and the continued addition of new tools and options. In this podcast I discuss how I use it to assess existing knowledge before we start a unit and how I use if for my unit tests. A year subscription costs $49 or you can try it out for 30 days for free. It is a great tool that is well worth the investment. Check it out.
If you have any comments or questions please leave a comment on this post or e-mail me at speakingofhistory@gmail.com

Podcast #40 Show Notes:
I know you don't get a kick-back ;-) but I just paid for my first year's membership. I also had utilized this when it was free - years ago - but forgot what an awesome tool this is! Thanks for reminding me of this tool.

Thanks, Eric. Am a music teacher considering incorporating some online assessments and learning games. Had found Quia and was looking for an unbiased review.
