Distributing the assignment
Distributing the assignment
Prior to assigning the work a page was created titled Volcano Diagram in the Teacher Only section under the tab titled Homework. This is where the homework pages are stored. (You can choose to have this 'Homework' tab in the Teacher Only Section or the Content Library.)
The assignment is shared with the students in the Teams assignment section by selecting 'Add resources'.
This OneNote page is distributed to each student's Notebook once the homework is assigned.
Teacher providing feedback
Teacher providing feedback
The students submit their homework through the assignment section in Teams. They select the resource page, in this case the OneNote page and insert a picture of their diagram and check off the check lists provided and submit. The teacher can then correct the homework using a tablet and stylus in OneNote.
Clarke 2005, suggests different levels of support for students which are needed when giving feedback. The three types of prompts are; reminder, scaffold and example. The example below shows effective feedback from the teacher to the student on a OneNote page. The type of feedback given here is an example of a reminder prompt.
Completed piece of work
Completed piece of work
The student acts on the feedback provided by the teacher and uploads the amended work onto the assigned page. The student can now view their progression comparing the original piece of work to the amended piece of work.
