Microsoft Teams and Mentimeter were used to support digital assessment

Microsoft Teams was used for two clinical training programmes. Glucometer training and Administration of Buccal Midazolam. These courses were delivered through Microsoft teams as a Moderated session. The assessment  comprised of a practical demonstration where learners had to show how they would in the case of Glucometer training correctly take their blood sugar reading and in the case of Buccal Midazolam administer it to a patient.

Mentiimeter
It was used to conduct formative and summative assessment when teaching students about Equality legislation in Ireland.
The students were asked what springs to mind when they hear the word equality and used the mentimeter to answer. It was used for summative assessment where 3 examples of legislation were given and the students had to choose the correct one.
It was felt that Mentimeter allows the student who may struggle to have that light bulb moment as they see words that initiate ideas. The anonymity of Mentimeter is also very important.

It is important to consider other methods of digital assessment such as Padlet

I had a play around with Nearpod at home and made a lesson based on my son. I added fun activities such as matching games, quiz's and missing words games. I asked (ordered) my wife to play. It was really fun and easy to set up. My wife is a primary school teacher and she had never heard of Nearpod either. She is now going to use it and share with her colleagues!!

I enjoyed the summary session. My key takeaway - loving the flipped classroom approach. In summary - training is a now a three act play -1 pre course (share materials/videos and set activity) - 2 live session - (formative assessment (what did they pick up from the pre course materials) - first measure - practice/discuss/share experiences and 3 post course activity and summative assessment. Compare formative v summative and measure the change

After last weeks live session, I can really see the potential to make training sessions more interactive by using kahoot/padlet/mentimeter etc - the possibilities are endless!!!

This week  I have put together a kahoot quiz to establish what a group of new students sampling have learned about the programme from their week sampling. I have used mentimeter asking them to give me 3 words on what they enjoyed about the week.

This week I have put together a Kahoot Quiz to establish what a group of samplers have learned from their week sampling.I have made a mentimeter word cloud asking them to give me 3 words on how their experience of the sample was.
I will be trying this out on students next week, think they will enjoy it and learned new skills doing it as well as giving

Really easy to add MS Forms into MS Teams.  In the Chat area where tools are listed click the 3 dots and select MS Forms.  Gives you up template to put in your question and choice of answers (includes multiples) so really quick, easy and visible to all

I used Mentimeter as a support in conducting a formative assessment and motivating tool before starting new topic. Word Cloud based on opening question around new topic with 5 words per participant.  We also used Mentimeter to assess learning at end of lesson with a series of question and bar chart to display answers.

I used Mentimeter to create two word clouds on the subject of healthy and unhealthy classroom environments. We then used the results to help us create a classroom code of conduct.
The learners were engaged and seemingly enjoyed using Mentimeter, some for the first time.
I would explore a way of creating the list of rules digitally instead of handwriting them.
