Some Paper and Pencil Formative Assessment Tools
Ok, so I realize this is a Web 2.0 blog, but I strongly believe in balance of strategies. Yes, paper and pencils still have their place in the classroom. I came across this site that shares a long list of simple formative assessment strategies and provides templates for you to use (some of them are interactive- so there is a little bit of tech included).
Check them out and leave a comment if you found them helpful or share if you used one!

Using Wordle to Assess
Wordle is a world cloud generator, but can be used to assess knowledge on many levels. Here are a few ideas...
1. While students are watching a video, have them type in the key words and concepts as often as they are repeated.
2. Have them assess their own soft skills, repeating the ones used most in that periods work time.
