This week on the podcast I had the honor of speaking with Katy Pointer. She's a lead elementary teacher who also teaches 5th-grade math. She is the queen of formative assessments and she had so much to share. We also brainstormed many issues that virtual teachers have with formative assessments from grading and validity.  After listening to today's episode, head on over to our social media pages and share your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for formative assessments.Resources Discussed with Katy:GoFomativeEdulasticsPixton (Bitmoji Alternative) Episode InfoGuest: Katy PointerInstagram: @virtually_5th_gradeJoin the conversation on our Instagram and Facebook!!Follow The Virtual Classroom on Instagram @thevirtualclassroomFacebook @thevirtualclassroompodYoutube @thevirtualclassroomFacebook Group: TheVT LoungeSupport the ShowSubscribe todayShare with a friendLeave a reviewBuy from the storesRedbubbleTpTThe music for the show is "Journey to the Dream" by Alex Stoner.Licensed through TaketonesReferencesJanuary, S.-A.
