Peergrade is an education tool which allows students to peer review each other's work in the classroom. Uploaded by the teacher is the assignment itself and how their work should be graded based on the rubric. Students can then upload their assignments and grade each other referencing the grading criteria. Students can participate in live sessions or homework, and have the option to attach PDFs, GoogleDocs, text submissions, or photos. This creates a level of greater accessibility for students who may not be able to write, but can type instead. Teachers can ask students to give constructive feedback, mentioning aspects the student did well or a factor they have the potential to improve on. Students can then respond on the feedback given by their classmates and rate how helpful it was.

Will all students understand the lesson the first time?

There is a strong possibility students may not understand the lesson the first time. Students will have the opportunity to review the lesson and objects in a one-on-one environment to ensure they will be able to meet the expectations and follow the rubric.

If necessary, students can resubmit work should they complete the assignment incorrectly.

How will you differentiate to meet the needs of all students?

While adhering to the required rubric, students will be able to decide their mode of assessment. If students prefer not to use Canva to create their maps, they can use colored pencils/markers and paper and later upload their work on Peergrade.

How will students participate without electronic devices?

Students can either borrow a Chromebook for another student or complete a hard copy of the assignment. Students who must have their work peer reviewed can have students grade copies of their work and return it to them. If students have further accommodations, they will be made in order to fulfill the needs of the students.

Kahoot!

For students, Kahoot! is a great opportunity to review while having fun in the classroom. Teachers can also reward the top 3 winners of the game with prizes to motivate students to try their hardest while participating.
