Using Optical Illusions For Speaking Practice. An optical illusion (also called a visual illusion) is characterized by visually perceived images that differ from objective reality.

He used a sticky-note version of an exit ticket to elicit evidence of student learning and in his words, “what a difference that made.”
Formative assessment is ‘easier than you think’ and with all the digital tools and apps now available for mobile devices it’s even easier. We’ve shared some digital tools before and with the five tools that Steven shared combined with our earlier suggestions there are now 33 digital tools that we’ve uncovered that are free or inexpensive and help teachers implement formative assessment in their classrooms.
