The Feedback Dilemma: Students have learned to want it, but only to a certain extent. Teachers want students to learn, but it takes time to generate and more time for students to learn from their mistakes. Meaningful feedback must provide the opportunity for students to do better.

Grading Systems:

1. Good :-) Sad :-(

2. Check Mark : ✓+ ✓ ✓-

3. Traditional: A B C D F

4. Rubric: 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 AP Rubric

Feedback: Specific, Actionable, Timely, Goal-Oriented (in other words, not just grading)
(See Edutopia: 5 Research-Based Tips for Providing Students with Meaningful Feedback )

80% of Grading/Feedback is writing the SAME comments over and over again.

Using technology, you can save TIME and provide FEEDBACK to students to learn to do better.

Class website example

Student Web pages.

Google Form Creation

1. Log in with your gmail account (school or personal)

2. Go to google drive, click "New" and open Forms

3. Title = your assignment

4. Question 1 = student's name (short answer)

5. Question 2 = period (short answer)

6. Grading Content (multiple choice or check boxes) For each content, the last one should be "other"

7. Penultimate item = Misc. Comments (paragraph)

8. Last item = Grade
