As most of your know, I am a huge fan of Richard Byrne from
http://www.freetech4teachers.com/. Here are five formative assessment tools that can be used to place quick, formative assessments into your classroom blog.
Formative:
Since this post is about formative assessment tools it makes sense to start with one that is actually called Formative. Formative offers an nice way to create multiple choice, open-response, and image-based quizzes. The image-based quizzes that you create in Formative can be embedded into your classroom blog where your students can then answer the questions in the quiz. Watch the video below

Dotstorming:
Dotstorming is a great platform for having students post ideas and vote on their favorite ideas. One of the ways that you could use Dotstorming is to post a set of answer choices for your students and have them vote for the answer that they think is correct. Dotstorming activity boards can be embedded into blog posts and webpages.

Google Forms:
Google Forms is the obvious choice for creating simple formative assessments to embed into a blog or website.
