Make 'em Happy!
Sharing student work serves a variety of purposes:
It builds a relationship between you, the parent/guardian, and the student
It encourages students to create awesome work, because they know more than just their teacher are going to see it
It helps the student know that you value them and their hard work
Discussion Boards
Discussion Boards
A great way for students to turn in assignments is the discussion board. This provides students an opportunity to see what others are doing, maybe borrow some ideas (You know you "borrow" all the time as a teacher), and it provides them with the opportunity to provide feedback to their peers. Pro tip: student's feedback to one another is often even better than teacher feedback!
Feedback
Feedback
Establishing an online classroom where students feel comfortable both giving and getting feedback takes time. Throughout the course, it's important to stress to students that we are all learning together. That we are all aiming to get better as we become creators instead of consumers of content. This takes time and does not happen overnight. However, if you model that your online classroom is a safe place and provide detailed feedback to your students, they will learn from you and begin to provide great feedback as well!
Places to Share
Places to Share
Two great ways to share student work are though newletters and Twitter!
Class exemplars and news are shared via a newsletter to parents/guardians every other week that details what they student is doing in the class. Parents/guardians love this! They rarely, if ever, see work their students are completing. Parents/guardians canE use this information to have better school discussion with their students. Instead of asking, "What did you learn today" and getting the response "Nothing" they can talk about the project they completed or the Nearpod they participated in the class. If you are a parent/guardian...you know this is a big deal!
Twitter is another great avenue for sharing student work! (Be sure to get approval from the student and and remove their last name on the project.) This is another way to connect their hard work with the worl and even inspire other educators!
