Inquiry Two: How can we provide meaningful and individualised feedback using technology?
Inquiry Goals:
- Feedback will provide learners with next learning steps.
- Feedback will link to resources to support new learning and reinforce previous learning.
- Children will be able to access the feedback through a variety of media, anytime and anyplace.
- Provide feedback to children through a multimodal approach.
Background:
Upon starting using Google Docs for writing we identified that giving feedback would require some change in our thinking. In 2014 Clive experimented with giving feedback on writing in google docs using the school wide approach of pink (tickled pink - something good) and green (green for grow - next step) highlighting. He then started using the comments feature to add written feedback. Problems started to arise here as children were resolving the next steps and deleting the comments.
We chose to look into more effective ways of giving feedback utilising google apps. Katie attended a workshop that introduced her to the Kaizena app and she has started to look at ways this may assist us with giving more meaningful feedback to the children.
Focusing Inquiry:
What do my students need to learn?
To read feedback.
To understand pink & green highlighting.
To use google apps that are chosen by teachers to give and/or aid them in giving feedback.
To follow links to resources.
To receive feedback through a variety of media.
How to respond to feedback.
