Element 23: Providing Resources and Guidance by Brenda Ramirez https://padlet.com/bmacielramirez/6jsijenytbo5 EDU 563: Week 5.1 en-us 2020-02-05 00:41:31 UTC 2020-02-26 01:18:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4bb.png Feedback bmacielramirez https://padlet.com/bmacielramirez/6jsijenytbo5/wish/440708570 Feedback should include constructive criticism that tells a child what they did well and what they can improve. The books states that this can happen between students as well, not just teacher and student. 

Technology: Any cloud-based word processing tools, such as Google Drive or OneDrive, allow you to add in comments. Students and teachers could give each other feedback through comments. The book recommends including links in the comments for students to share extra sources or writing samples from past students. Screencasts can also be used for both teachers and students to specifically target which areas need improvement.

Implementation tip: For elementary students, their reading and writing skills should be considered. A student who struggles to read should may not benefit from written feedback. I like the screen recording idea for students to see exactly what parts of their work need improvement. However, in my opinion, nothing beats a one-on-one spoken conference with a student for feedback. :) ]]> 2020-02-05 02:37:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bmacielramirez/6jsijenytbo5/wish/440708570 Scoring Scales bmacielramirez https://padlet.com/bmacielramirez/6jsijenytbo5/wish/440708596 Teachers can provide student friendly scales for students to self-monitor their progress for their goals. The learning target should be clear and the book recommends the measurement to be on a 1, 2, 3, 4 scale:
  • 1.0- I need a lot of support to understand the simple elements.
  • 2.0- I understand the simple elements but still need support.
  • 3.0- I can understand simple/complex elements do this on my own.
  • 4.0- I understand the simple/complex elements and can make inferences beyond the learning target.

Technology: Teachers can use an online poll (list linked below) to get an overall response on how well students think they are progressing towards the learning goal. Teachers can create an interactive W-N-H (What did I think before? Now what do I think? How are these thoughts different?) for students to add any new knowledge.

Implementation tip: Elementary students can have a simple scale that lists numbers 1-4 with visuals and simple language. Pinterest has many examples of Marzano scales for elementary students. The learning goal can simply be stated on the board or your Google classroom, and then the simplified student scale will work for every lesson.

For example, it very common for online statistic to have errors.

Technology: Teachers can display a rubric on their SmartBoard to help students analyze their online resource for reliability and accuracy. Students can use social media to collaborate with others on examining their claims for any errors. Students can post their links to a class page for other students to examine or use for their research.

Implementation tip: For elementary students, the teacher can show them examples of unreliable sources and why they are unreliable. Students can have a short, simple checklist or rubric to help them check for reliability. Again, it would be helpful for the teacher to have the "unreliable" sites chosen ahead of time to prevent any inappropriate content found by younger students.

The strategies that work well with this element are:
  1. Providing support for claims
  2. Examining claims for errors
  3. Scoring scales
  4. Feedback

The book explains grounds, backing, and qualifiers:
  • Grounds- initial evidence for claim
  • Backing- specific information about grounds to help legitimacy
  • Qualifiers- exceptions to claims

Technology: The book recommends students use the internet to search for online sources. They can use bookmarking tools like Diigo and Delicious. They should share sources with peers to determine how reliable the source is.

Implementation tip: Elementary students should not be searching the web freely. Use kid friendly web search engines such as KidRex, Kiddle, KidzSearch, etc. I like to have QR codes posted or direct links on my SeeSaw page to prevent students from having to search the internet. However, it is possible to do a lesson on safe online research and reliable sources, it's just tricky for grades K-2nd.
