Alice Out Of Context: Respond - 2 views

  • Okay, why didn't you just say that?

      How true - how hard is it to say "I'm not sure - I'll get back to you?" This happens a lot at work when appointments are sent out for meetings. People don't accept, don't decline, don't comment, so you have no idea who is going to be at the meeting. Courtesy, people!
  • If I don't have time to respond with two sentences, what am I doing checking email?

      Terrific argument - if you don't have time for quick responses, you should be spending your time doing something else. Don't check your email with no intention of returning any communication. That's worthless.
  • Just respond.

    Great article about responding to email in a timely manner, even when you don't have any answers for the sender or are incredibly busy. Enjoy!

  • If you don’t start off at the beginning giving them feedback that has meaning for them, the quality of their work slips
  • If they know that somebody really cares about what they’re doing and [makes] that personal connection, they will work to that expectation. If they don’t think the instructor is spending time with their work and simply says, ‘Oh, you did a great job’ but doesn’t make anything personal, they figure, ‘Oh well, the instructor skimmed the information,
  • it’s important to include examples from students’ work so they know that you have read it.

Educational Leadership:Feedback for Learning:Seven Keys to Effective Feedback - 0 views

  • feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal
    • Denise Caparula
      Denise Caparula on 26 Sep 16
       
      Good or bad, some kind of information related to student effort needs to be relayed.
  • What specifically should I do more or less of next time, based on this information?
    • Denise Caparula
      Denise Caparula on 26 Sep 16
       
      Keep this question in mind when providing student feedback.
  • the sooner I get feedback, the better
    • Denise Caparula
      Denise Caparula on 26 Sep 16
       
      Waiting until the last week of class to provide any kind of feedback has no point.

  • What makes any assessment in education formative is not merely that it precedes summative assessments, but that the performer has opportunities, if results are less than optimal, to reshape the performance to better achieve the goal. In summative assessment, the feedback comes too late; the performance is over.
  • Although the universal teacher lament that there's no time for such feedback is understandable, remember that "no time to give and use feedback" actually means "no time to cause learning." As we have seen, research shows that less teaching plus more feedback is the key to achieving greater learning. And there are numerous ways—through technology, peers, and other teachers—that students can get the feedback they need.

    Another great source on providing timely feedback throughout the course to enhance student learning.

    Poll Everywhere is the easiest way to gather live responses in any venue... conferences, concerts, classrooms, and company off-sites - anywhere with internet. We've been working to end 'death by PowerPoint' and raise the bar on presenting since 2008. More than 4,000 schools and 100,000 teachers poll with Poll Everywhere.

For the first round, you were the user, and in the second, your students were. What is usability testing? It is simply a process of observing how users interact with something you have ...
