ASCD Inservice: Feedback to the Future, with Tools Students Really Use - 0 views

  • Poole's feedback traditionally came at the end of an assignment, was delivered in writing (the typical inked-up assignment), and covered lots of traits. Students weren't really reading her feedback
  • "Too often, feedback is just a way to justify a grade, rather than help students improve," Poole observed.
  • also needed to be more specific about what students should focus on, and show them how to incorporate feedback into their revisions.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Matching feedback best practices and technology helped her hit these marks.
  • For screen sharing, Poole uses Join.me (because it's free, with no account required*). Students can share their screen with a group, or just the teacher, and it's a good way to quickly assess student work, especially if they're doing research (are they on sites that will give them appropriate information?) or preparing a presentation.
  • Poole will set her classroom up so students rotate through feedback stations. There will be a station for Traditional peer-to-peer feedback. Self-assessment screencast (use YouTube direct record function). LiveScribe feedback listening stations. Working with specific trait tools (students work on improving one aspect of their writing).
  • Getting student buy-in and understanding of the difference between feedback and criticism are lingering challenges to enacting these types of feedback processes
  • had students do a simple exercise—she brought in a teddy bear dressed in a funny outfit and asked how they would give feedback on the outfit as the bear's friend or as its enemy. Students put their responses into a big T chart, listing their ideas on what constitutes feedback and what criticism is, and this was displayed in the classroom all year.
  • her new, targeted approach to feedback takes less time and is way more effective in terms of raising the quality of student work as compared to teacher-centered, written feedback.

Budget Crisis Inspires Award Winning Curriculum Redesign at Byron Senior High School --... - 0 views

  • Since they couldn't afford new textbooks, Byron High's math and science teachers offered to donate time to sift through the best free resources and create virtual textbooks. The kids would have access to the lessons 24/7 and the department would have lessons that met the new state standards.
  • In addition to virtual textbooks, why not add on YouTube videos of individual lessons? Kids would still have normal classroom instruction, but now they'd be able to rewind and fast-forward their teacher. No matter what time they did their homework, the teacher would be there to help them brush up on the day's lesson.
  • With this award, Byron Senior High School made a 180-degree turn from being so desperate they couldn't afford textbooks to having a wealth of high tech resources they can share with the entire Byron school system
