Implementation in a Secondary Classroom (Articles) - 0 views

  • Okay. Here’s a list of choices. Choose one. As long as you follow the steps in my rubric, you’re fine.’”
    • hansenn
       
      You would just have to create a rubric that would cover all of the ways students could produce a final project. The rubric would have to focus on the learning targets not what the project looks like. I would assume students would be presenting this work.
  • “One of the things I had to learn recently was to let go and allow the kids to experience the consequences of their choices.
    • hansenn
       
      What happens if a student does not work on the project? If the project takes a long period of time and they wasted too much time then They may not have time to finish it. I understand how student's might fail and that is part of learning. Middle School students need some time management help when keeping on track. It would be difficult to totally let go.
  • they liked it because it was what they picked.
    • hansenn
       
      Must students do enjoy the learning more if they have some choice. Some of the math class would have to be the same, but students would like choice where available. Or you could have students think how they might use a certain skill in their real lives.

  • One of you needs to move. You decide.
    • hansenn
       
      Interesting idea, I would love to see a video of this in action. The teacher must have taught conflict resolution skills. Many students do not have the skills to complete this task. Maybe with the help of a peer mentor, on their own would be difficult depending on the age of the students.

Adaptive Learning System Articles - 1 views

  • Imagine if every student in your class could have a private tutor, available to them at any time for as long as they need.
    • hansenn
       
      Yes, adaptive learning products will act as private tutors for some of the students, but I don't think it will the same for all students. Some students would need that personal touch from a real person to get motivated. I think it would be more inportant for younger students to have interaction with a real person.
  • Do you trust the tutor to teach the right
    • hansenn
       
      You would have to spend a while testing out the products to see, which one would work the best for your students and your class. Especially when some of them are so costly. Who would you have test out the products? I would think it would be teachers who have taught the material before.
  • Adaptive technology can follow a student’s progress as they work and recognize which concepts they’ve mastered and in which areas they need further instruction.
    • hansenn
       
      The quick feedback would help the student to understand what they know and what they do not know. Teachers cannot provide feedback as fast and then change the instruction as the adaptive technologies. With larger class sizes it would be nearly impossible to provide quick feedback without the help of Tech.

  • Institutions around the world are engaged in serious explorations of the potential of an approach to instruction and remediation that uses technology
    • hansenn
       
      I would think all kinds of companies would be interested in adaptive technologies to help educate their employees. If you added in some VR the adaptive learning tech could add in some real world learning like simulators.

"Personalized" vs. "Personal" Learning - 3 views

  • We often say we want creativity and innovation
    • hansenn
       
      Sometimes when I give students the freedom of choice it motivates them to learn and others students lack curiosity and need guidance to spark innovation.
  • student moving through a prescribed set of activities at his own pace. The
    • hansenn
       
      Even this personal learning at your own pace would be difficult if students were interacting with other students in forum. Forums would need to be done at some set time.
  • Technology was strikingly absent from these conversations. I
    • hansenn
       
      To me technology or blended learning would have to play some role in getting away from the one-size fits all model. Technology allows students to explore on their own and offers many resources to do so.

  • standardized tests, while at the same time telling teachers to be innovative and creative within their classrooms.
    • hansenn
       
      The skills needed for real life jobs and situations cannot be accessed by standardized tests. Students should be learning about how to be innovative and creative to solve real problems.

Article(s): Self- and Peer-Assessment Online - 1 views

  • Encourages student involvement and responsibility.
    • hansenn
       
      I think students value learning more if they take part in assessing their own learning. Instead of just thinking they were given a grade, they know what they earned and if they reached the learning goal.
  • Can help reduce the ‘free rider’ problem as students are aware that their contribution will be graded by their peers.
    • hansenn
       
      Students also get to see examples of what to do and what not to do by looking at their peer's work. I agree students will often try harder if they know their peers will see their work.
  • Students feel ill equipped to undertake the assessment.
    • hansenn
       
      You would have to teach students how to assess the work. I would work through an example with the class before having students grade others.

  • shirking’ their responsibilities by having students undertaking peer assessments.
    • hansenn
       
      The teacher would explain they are still going to grade the project, but the students are working together to improve the project before it is turned in for a grade.
  • It is considered fair by some students, because each student is judged on their own contribution.
    • hansenn
       
      This is the only way to assess group work, or you will have some students in the group not doing work. Sometimes you have where students do not let others participate.
  • When learners are mature, self-directed and motivated.
    • hansenn
       
      This is the greatest challenge for me teaching Middle School and having them evaluate each others work with maturity and staying focused on student's writing not their personal opinions.
  • When they self-assessed, these students reported that they checked their work, revised it, and reflected on it more generally.
    • hansenn
       
      The student's final project should be improved if they self evaluate. Students must be motivated to reflect and revise their own work. It is difficult sometimes to even get students to reread their work.

ollie-afe-2018: Article: Attributes from Effective Formative Assessment (CCSSO) - 4 views

  • nstruction so that necessary instructional adjustments can be made to close the gap between students’ current understanding and the desired goals
    • hansenn
       
      he results could be that some students have learned the material and some need more time to learn. The teacher would then have to develop a plane to assist the students that need more time and how to extend the learning for students who have already learned the objective.
  • provide opportunities for students to monitor their ongoing progress.
    • hansenn
       
      I have seen teachers use student monitored formative assessments where students will rate their own learning from a 1 -10. One teacher used different colored cups to rate their own learning. Students would put a green cup out if they understand and a red cup if they did not
  • instructional goal to students.
    • hansenn
       
      Students should always know the objective of the lesson and why it is important for them to learn it. They cannot monitor their progress if they do not know the goal.

  • They are able to connect formative assessment opportunities to the short-term goals to keep track of how well their students’ learning is moving forward.
    • hansenn
       
      Teachers might also discover they forgot a step in their learning progression. Sometimes I think students will have certain background knowledge and then discover they do not.
  • peers are involved there are many more opportunities to share and receive feedback.
    • hansenn
       
      You have to teach students how to do peer reviews, or they do not work. Sometimes I find students will be immature when reviewing other students work if you do not set up the ground rules.

ollie-afe-2018: Building a Better Mousetrap - 3 views

  • shared with students prior to the completion of any given assignment
    • hansenn
       
      I think rubrics should always shared with students when they start the assignment. so for me it is not an "IF:
  • reports that extensive use of rubrics can help minimize students’ educational disparities and bring fairness into assessment on numerous levels:
    • hansenn
       
      As long as the rubrics are well constructed and use I believe they do help lead to more equality and consistency in assessment. Teachers that give the same assessments, also need to review the rubrics together for consistency across schools and district.
  • students to simply make sure their essays have those features
    • hansenn
       
      Many students will just complete the assessment to meet the requirements in the rubric, but students are then meeting the expectations you wrote in the rubric. If you want them to do more change the rubric. What would happen if you did not share the rubric some might do more than expected and many would not because they have no idea what is expected.

  • Look at some actual examples of student work to see if you have omitted any important dimensions.
    • hansenn
       
      Sometimes after using a new assessment an rubric, I reflect and notice the mistakes I made when creating the rubric and revise it. When you have students examples it makes it easier to evaluate your own rubric.

ollie-afe-2018: Educational Leadership: The Quest for Quality--article - 14 views

  • The assessor needs to have a clear picture of what achievement he or she intends to measure.
    • hansenn
       
      These targets should be the criteria on your rubric or the focus of your questions. It can be challenging to create questions that directly relate to the targets.
  • not
    • hansenn
       
      I once read that you were not suppose to use not in a selected response, but I still use them because it makes students compare and contrast the concepts.
  • Students learn best when they monitor and take responsibility for their own learning.
    • hansenn
       
      I have been trying to have my students use a rubric to evaluate their own progress. If i have time to talk to the student and compare our scores and provide oral feedback it works better. Online meeting with the student might be more difficult.

    • hansenn
       
      The needs of the school or teachers is to be able to grade the assessments. If standardized test are selected response and short answer because the results can be calculated quickly. They can measure some higher thinking skills, but most are not. Why do people place so much importance on the test.

ollie1 (Peterman): Iowa Online Teaching Standards - 21 views

  • Promotes learning through online collaboration group work that is goal-oriented and focused
    • hansenn
       
      I think the first part of this goal is easier to meet now with cloud based programs like G-suite products, but it can be challenging to have middle students to stick to working together to reach a learning goal.
  • current with emerging technologies
    • hansenn
       
      I think it is extremely difficult to stay current on all of the technology tools. There are the new tech tools and then the others are continually being updated. We seem to have certain leaders who are know about certain products. We all know who to ask about Google Calendar. moodle-Iowa
