Opportunities:
====**Threats**: This app requires the usage and sharing of PII (Personally Identifiable Information) with both Google Docs and Flubaroo. Should either of these sites have a data breach, this could cause private information to be shared over the internet. Some districts or schools may have policies against sharing grade information over these kinds of servers. Review your school or district's policies before using.====
 * Provide timely and specific feedback to students
 * Provide teacher with valuable formative data to help improve instructional outcomes and focus on students' needs
 * Identify strengths and weaknesses of individual students and whole classes to provide opportunities for differentiation and enrichment
 * Use tool to provide data for discussion at PLC or other staff development meetings


 * Ideas:** This program, if allowable, would provide real-time data to teachers in a way that is far more efficient than paper and pencil grading. It could save teachers time and become a valuable tool in planning for differentiation and enrichment. Students could also benefit from the discussion and sharing of their quiz results and feedback with peers.
