Edulastic is Fantastic

Edulastic is a web-based platform designed to help teachers assess and monitor students as they work toward mastery of standards. I love Edulastic because it provides over 30 interactive question types to assess learners. It also supports a variety of standards, including state.

​If you, like many teachers, use Google Classroom then you’ll be happy to know that Edulastic works seamlessly with it. Teachers can preview assessments and review questions in the student view. This is a great way to ensure that you are developing assessments that engage your students and require them to use their critical thinking skills. Teachers are able to assign points to each problem. This can be really beneficial when you have multiple classes because you can target their individual class needs. Teachers can also easily view the reports to determine whether the students are meeting the standard or if they are in need of intervention. 

One challenge with Edulatic is the majority of the assessments and assignments are for ELA and math, with limited resources available for other subject areas. If you teach a subject other than ELA or Math, I would recommend maybe supplementing your assessments with some of the content from Edulastic. As a math teacher, I use Edulastic to create entire assessments, using questions from the verified test bank.. You have to ensure that it is a verified question because teachers are able to upload their own questions and problems and they are not always accurate. Despite these challenges, Edulastic has many benefits such as: real-time scoring of assessments, identification of students who need intervention or remediation, access to standards-aligned assessments, a variety of questions, opportunities for students to practice taking online assessments, and performance summaries that can be shared with relevant stakeholders. 

​This video will show you how you can assign an Edulastic assessment/assignment inside of your Google Classroom.


Edulastic is a great tool to assess students. However, teachers must  still plan lessons that use appropriate instructional strategies to help students learn these same concepts or skills they are evaluated on.

This is a great video if you have never used Edulastic or need a refresher. I have included a breakdown for this video due to it's length of 49:10. You may skip forward to whatever area you need more information on.
