This was spoken about in the Penetrating the Fog article and it speaks directly to me in my use of the Compass Learning Program that we use with our extremely high and extremely low learners. I am allowed access to understanding how long they were on certain tasks and the frequency of them pausing or restarting video lessons. By allowing me to understand how often they did this during lessons and then there understanding of the material in the online activities, it allowed me to understand their speed of understanding topics and how frequently I needed to reloop the material with the students. If they were pausing or restarting it one time or less it showed me that relooping it multiple times over the next week will be a disservice to the students as they already have a grasp of the material.]]> 2017-05-31 00:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174525224 cmroger1 https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174525983 During this modules readings and videos, I found myself exploring some of the online tools that I currently use in the classroom that help me model my upcoming lessons. I found that sometimes I used an outdated and small data collection method of gathering data through exit tickets or socrative (Online question web site school provided) to collect my data, however, this was not stored in a database instantly to help me track the overall understanding of the material in a large scale model. This lead to me exploring these devices last night and today during school to discover that they were so many tools that I could have used to take advantage of Learning Analytics. I discovered the Mastery Connect program that allows me to create assessments as short or as long as I wanted and arrange them by State Standards to track how far along the students have succeeded in the understanding of all the year long standards. I also discovered that you can break these individualized standards into substandard to help you understand if the students are struggling with a certain type of problem within that standard. I believe by using the large data that I can obtain from the students online clicks and outputs in the skills that I have started to develop through real world experience and graduate school, I can increase levels of understanding and retention in my students. ]]> 2017-05-31 00:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174525983 cmroger1 https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174527035 Listed below is an example of the Mastery Connect items that you can use to understand student learning levels. This is an ever-changing graphic that will change if a student struggles on a relooping activity. This allows you to see instant results and continues to update you on the level of understanding, unlike paper and pencil trackers that make it impossible to change the color once you have shaded it.]]> 2017-05-31 01:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174527035 cmroger1 https://padlet.com/cmroger1/at76rboyt42f/wish/174527418 Long, P. & Siemens, G.
