Example #1 Kahoot! (formative)
Type of Learning Target: knowledge, skill, reasoning
Kahoot! is a Student Response and Assessment Tool. A teacher designs questions on the Kahoot! web-platform. Then students can answer the questions and submit their responses. SR tools, like Kahoot! help teachers in a number of ways. Kahoot! keeps kids engaged, promotes participation, and provides valuable feedback. After playing the Kahoot!, the teacher can download a spreadsheet and use the data to inform instruction, provide extension, and design remediation activities.  Teachers can also use the data provided by Kahoot! to place students into flexible groups. Here is an example of a Kahoot! assessment that meets fifth grade ELA standard: ELAGSE5L5. Demonstrate understanding of figurative language, word relationships, and nuances in word meanings. b. Recognize and explain the meaning of common idioms, adages, and proverbs. I love this Kahoot! because it includes pictures to make the content accessible for English language learners. 
Kahoots are appropriate to use with any group of students as a formative assessment. It can be used as a warm-up/review, during instruction, or at the end of a lesson.
Strengths: Kahoot! is easy to use, engaging, and data is available immediately for the teacher.
Weakness: If there are wifi issues, Kahoot will not work. Every student will need a device.
