What types of technology tools do you currently use to give feedback? Are there any tips in this chapter that you are excited to try? en-us 2023-08-16 18:51:18 UTC 2023-08-22 18:51:27 UTC hello@padlet.com 2001897_7 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663771846
Feedback in my class can be as simple as affirming head nods of approval/dissaproval.  Positive words of encouragement or praise or  dignified methods of feedback when students are on the wrong path. ]]> 2023-08-16 19:00:10 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663771846 2001897_7 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663773281 Aside from + and - or x and checkmarks, I often put notes asking for clarity or if they remember something we did in class. Sometimes for partial credit I give a hint about what is missing. 

of note- the only time I use tech is when grading CFAs]]> 2023-08-16 19:02:23 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663773281 2001897_7 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663774372 Grades that come at midterm and end of Marking Periods is always accompanied with comments that provide feedback about progress. ]]> 2023-08-16 19:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663774372 2001897_7 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663777124 "After Hours feedback" kind of stuck in my craw a bit. I do think that I provide feedback when I am instructing and canvassing the room during practice. However, I really liked the idea of doing stations and having the teacher station be to provide feedback based on the work at the other stations where students recieved instruction and hopefully displayed understanding. ]]> 2023-08-16 19:07:44 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2663777124 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2664561192 Scott, these are all excellent points! As a fellow math person (not sure if it is specific to our department or not, but just my observation), it seems like most of us do not use tech for feedback, but rather verbal comments and written comments on the paper itself. Personally, I am excited to try out some of the features that Google offers that we learned about (and that I previously did not know existed). I definitely see it helping with the times when we end up writing the same thing on 20 students' papers...]]> 2023-08-17 10:17:54 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2664561192 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2664650811 Technology is great if it enhances the lesson. When we as teachers are taught new ways to use technology, we sometimes are expected to use it by coaches and observers... even if it doesn't help what you are trying to accomplish in your plans.

I try to embed tech into my instruction but tend to shy away from most tech that I have to spend class time to teach to the students - the class should be focused on the content and not the delivery system.

In the end, I think that Mike's right: tech tools work better with some content areas more than others.]]> 2023-08-17 12:21:26 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2664650811 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2668702683 At our 5 week mark, and sometimes sooner, I print a sheet that has all their assigments and grades for the quarter thus far. This helps stimulate interest in feedback because it's like handing back a quiz....everyone gets it at once and is asking each other their grade. It also gives them the reality check that triggers more intrinsic motivation. I agree with the feedback at a station on skills.]]> 2023-08-22 11:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2668702683 https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2669143539 I agree that feedback can be as simple as a smile or a nod. Sometimes, we complicate things that don't need to be complicated. When a student answers a question correctly to keep the conversation going a high five is sometimes enough.]]> 2023-08-22 18:51:17 UTC https://padlet.com/2001897_7/ph7l7peiwyf8j74j/wish/2669143539
