It seems students do not want to turn mics/cameras on or answer questions in the chat. It has been difficult gauging student growth daily when participation has been lacking. I like the idea of "Hot Seat" questioning. Calling on random students to answer questions. Maybe assigning students certain numbers and drawing those numbers from a cup or bucket during class time?

I really liked the idea of asking students to talk about the "muddiest" part or where they were most confused. This would help me identify patterns and help students better than I would if I simply asked what they learned from the lesson.

A few ideas that stuck out to me include:
Entry and Exit Tickets through Google forms, polls everywhere or padlet.

Low stakes quizzes or polls- I see this used a lot in the middle school with Kahoot and Quizlet!

Interviews (in a traditional school year) using a TAG method:
Tell a peer something they did well
Ask a thoughtful question
Give a positive suggestion
And for our more introverted students use of FlipGrid, Explain everything or SeeSaw could be utilized. Seesaw and Flipgrid are two used at RMS and seem user friendly.

The formative assessment Edutopia article provided with some sentence starters for formative assessment that will be helpful to check in with students such as “Today was hard because…”. I think that specific statement tells a lot about where kids are at with their learning based on their social and emotional state. I really liked the misconception check. This was explained as discussing common misconceptions with students so that if they found that it aligns with their thinking, they would connect with recognizing where their confusion was coming from.

I enjoyed the examples in 7 Smart Fast Ways. I tend to think of formative assessment as too time consuming but the approaches in this article make it more manageable and seemingly easy. I noticed some methods I already use. I plan to incorporate them more intentionally in future lessons.

To mix things up, sometimes I could pause at the beginning of remote class to  check in with  students by having them type into the chat a description of what we have been learning recently.

Since it is hard to "read the room" now, I can't tell if students are understanding material or directions. Exit Tickets are a missing piece to my online classroom. I notice students are not asking as many questions (although I KNOW they have some!). Many students will use the private chat to send me questions because they are nervous to speak up. Using Google Forms or Padlets may be a safe and comfortable way to encourage more students to ask questions.

Quick and easy quizzes during and right after learning are effective for both student and teacher. The student can know that they grasped what they were supposed to learn. The teacher can see the immediate success of their teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I was struck by the idea of presenting a misconception and asking the kids to correct it. So I can show an artwork that did not meet my requirements (anonymously) and ask what is this artist missing. This would help the students to remember to make sure they do that in their artwork.

# data[].attributes.body
I use the chat room for quick responses.  Since students don't always like to turn on cameras, I do the turn on mic to find if people understand.  When I see the green glow, I know that they are on board.  When I see red, I also know if a student has fallen asleep or left the room because I will ask for a private message to explain where they are lost.  No reply, then I have to see where they went.

This article was full of straight forward ideas and suggestions!  I connected with "low-stakes environment" because in this remote learning process students have anxiety about getting things wrong or failing.  I really like how BrainPop provides a REVIEW & GRADED quizzes.  The data supports that the review quiz is "low-stake" and then when they take the graded they score significantly higher.  I also tried something new this week by embedding a google form "quiz" into itsLearning.  Upon completion of the quiz, they can get see the results of the correct answer as well as additional videos to aid their learning.  This is also low-stakes formative assessment "learning environment" because the quiz was a prelude to the exit ticket that is graded.  I am trying to push myself to learn new things and support students to be successful with low stress moving them closer to mastery.

To track learning, teachers should inform students of the learning target at the beginning of the lesson, revisit in the middle of the lesson, and debrief on the learning target at the end of the lesson.  Some quick check tools and protocols to use to check for understanding are the thumb-meter, red light/green light, sticky bars, or an exit ticket.  The catch and release is a great way to check for understanding.  The students will get 7 minutes of work time (release) and then the teacher will do 2 minutes of teacher directed clarification on the assignment (catch).
