Formative - goformative.comI liked that you can do an assessment that involves actually graphing an equation or manipulating something.
Google classroom:Make a doc with hyperlinks in it to post for students (VIEW ONLY), and then whenever you switch the links, it will automatically change on classroom so you don't have to repost it. (You cannot have each student "get a copy" if you do this).

flippity.net This website allows teachers to easily create crossword puzzles, word searches, random name generators, memory game word match, and more.
autodraw.com This website allows you to start drawing a picture and it gives picture clues of what the picture is supposed to be so you can then click on the exact picture (image). Similar to Pictionary (the computer is guessing). I would use this as a brain break

Other examples of that big idea are to always help students use the Internet for good. By that, I mean meaningful online collaboration, publishing ideas and projects with the world (online) to gather feedback. Also, connecting with students and others outside of the classroom, whether it is on our end as the educator doing the work to make connections, or turning that over to students.

I was excited about the examples teachers were sharing where either the teacher or students was leveraging technology and resources to help give students a voice, or ownership, within the learning. Some of those examples were out of Princeton! Such as having students curate and share photos work for the class through Seesaw.
