Attending Webinar

The webinar which I attended is titled ''Apps Every Teacher Needs Now!'' by Shannon Holden. This webinar highlights the most effective applications that each teacher needs to be updated with in order to ensure having valuable and effective learning.
The first application is titled ''Kahoot'' in which interesting activities or games can be shared in a challenging and exciting way.
''Quizlet Live'' is the second application in which quick individual or group assessment can be done. such application helps the teacher to form an idea about students' work throughout with less effort.
Moreover, the other applications such as Flipgrid, Waklet and the other forms are also free and very helpful. These applications are effective when knowing when to use each and under which type of assessment. As mentioned in this webinar, there are specific forms that can be used with formative assessment while others can be used with summative one. For instance, the Waklet application is like a digital portfolio which provides students with feedback on their works throughout the year. This is a summative assessment. While Kahoot application, for example, is a formative one.
To sum up, this webinar highlights the importance of integrating such professional applications into the teaching process to engage students more and work effectively.
I really enjoyed attending it and learning more about this topic for two reasons. The first one is that it enriched my mind with valuable ideas related to the assessment field and the second one is that this webinar is strongly related to the course Educ560 and it even  includes some applications we have learned in it.
