(Which was the idea behind our post last March, “10 Assessments You Can Perform In 90 Seconds Or Less.”)

The following infographic Mia MacMeekin offers up 27 additional ways to check for understanding.

А что, если Вы не хотите, чтобы часть таблицы была видна при публикации ее на сайте или при размещении (отправке) на нее ссылки .
