Check out this google form I created as a way to check in with each of your students!
Love using google forms to make quizzes and polls for students. It's a fun and easy way to check for understanding or to get feedback from students! You can include pictures and a wide range of question types. I will use Google Forms as a weekly check-in system like the one I have already created. I think this is a very easy but important part of a student's week and a chance to reflect on how they are doing or what they may need help with.
Check out this Blooket I made to help third graders review addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts before a test!
Blooket incorporates critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity from the teachers and their students. It is a great tool that can be used to follow ISTE standards. It allows students to become more empowered, individual thinkers, and gives them a chance to use technology to the advantage of their education!
Blooket is a great formative assessment tool to keep students on task and excited about their learning. It also helps with teaching them how to use tech. tools for educational purposes! It offers a variety of games for students and many teacher reports on how students are doing. You can work on this with your students as a large group or assign them an activity solo or for homework. It keep track of their progress and gives them correct answers and explanations when they answer incorrectly.
This ties into the Danielson Framework for Teaching as you are getting to know your students and are working to set instructional outcomes. You can see how your students answer questions when they work in groups or when they work on their own and from home. You can monitor progress and establish where areas of need may be as well as where strengths lie. You can then set goals for each of your students in their learning. This tool along with others like it (Quizalize, Quizizz, Kahoot, etc.) are great for use in the classroom. It keeps students engaged and active in their learning. I am very excited to use these formative assessment tools in my own classroom someday. For my first field experience, I had the pleasure of creating "Mimi Mice" with kindergarteners, teaching them to follow step by step instructions to make cool bookmarkers for their homes.
Check them out! Check out this online worksheet that I edited using TeacherMade!
TeacherMade allows you to import your own worksheets right into their sight for editing online. It allows you to make copies for your students, so that they can work completely online. Using textboxes, markers, highlighters, and erasers, students are able to answer short answer, long answer, matching, drawing, true/false, or multiple choice questions - whatever the teacher prefers!
This is a great tool to link to the Danielson Framework for Teaching. It really fits in with Component 1e Designing Coherent Instruction and Component 1f Designing Assessment. Both of these components involve creating lesson plans and tests specific to your students' needs. It brings collaboration and creativity into your classroom and is a great designer tool when looking at the ISTE standards. This tool would be of great use to those trying to stay on top of all their students' learning with its interactive capabilities and more! I plan to use TeacherMade and other sources like it in my classroom as I prepare daily check-ins, exit tickets, and small quizzes. I think this is a great tool to keep students engaged as well as to allow them to use technology and not do everything from pencil and paper. This will keep them more active in their learning and allow them to adapt to doing assignments in a different way than what they are used to. |
TeacherMade allows teachers to hit a home run when it comes to being a collaborator and a designer in their learning! This tool is great for updating our own learning, sharing it with peers, and updating our students with new uses of technology in the classroom. This is a great example of an authentic, learner-driven activity that teachers can create and edit for their own classroom's needs. Keep on benefiting your students!
