…I’ve read in the last month of my life. They basically, they were working with college students, college distance students, and one group received feedback on their work through writing, and the other group received it via audio. This is Ice, Philips, Curtis and Wells. It’s a 2007 study. I’ll send you that link. GONZALEZ: Yeah, we’ll get that link. STUART: Yep, yep. Jenn, this is crazy.

Episode 149: Nine Ways Online Teaching Should Be Different from Face-to-Face

…on teachers giving students feedback rather than their grades. And that feedback should be often, that should be happening continuously so that you build that connection and keep that connection. GONZALEZ: Okay. Do you have a favorite platform or system for giving that feedback? KITCHEN: We’ve always encouraged teachers to use what their district is providing, and it starts with their cloud-based computing platform. That’s the first place you want to start, so in Google Classroom, you have lots of different comment areas, feedback strategies. In Microsoft Teams, you also have those same kind of strategies within Microsoft Word and…

…skills, really being able to develop their listening skills, their active listening skills, their nurturing empathy in a classroom. So the communication skills is something that we’ve gotten a lot of feedback about. And I think a lot of feedback we get too is related to really opening up the world and making the world a little bit bigger for students through the process of creating a larger circle of stories. We’ve gotten a lot of positive feedback about that. We also get a lot of feedback around critical thinking. As I was saying earlier, that students are reading and…

…kids to give peer feedback all the time to each other. In this particular class, to back up, we do the content information. We talk about pseudoscience. We talk about habits of science. And we talk about how can you develop good research questions. And then they give feedback on their questions to each other. We try to find sources, and we talk about credibility and bias. Then they have to talk about, well, do your sources look like they’re credible? How do you know? How do you know an expert’s an expert, right? If they are always point, you…

…same place. GONZALEZ: Okay. SERRAVALLO: What might be better is if you’re going to do choral reading, have an enlarged copy so that you can point to where everybody should be reading all at once. GONZALEZ: Okay. SERRAVALLO: The benefits are that kids are getting feedback, auditory feedback from all the kids around them and from the teacher as they’re reading. And they’re having to actually read the words so you can often get better engagement than if you’re just telling them, “read it to yourself.” We all know some kids are going to be like, okay, whatever, and they’re…

…need to focus on that one. GONZALEZ: Right. BAIN: And so being able to provide the structure, being able to provide the feedback. When I would give them mini quizzes, as soon as they were over, I would go over those answers so the students would know right away if they got them correct or not. The following day, after I had done my analysis after school and I handed them back, we would go, I would go over the questions again and again allow them to retrieve the answers. So they’re not only getting feedback again, but I’m incorporating…

Speed Up Grading with Rubric Codes

…time management skills with paper grading. I have always thought that being a good teacher meant giving detailed feedback on everything a student turns in for assessment–and it’s true! Student’s learn best from regular, detailed feedback–but it’s just not realistic. The system above allows me to give the same feedback without writing long, complete sentences. I also like that you put rubric codes where a student did well in green and rubric codes where a student needs work in red. Great, easy idea. I will definitely be trying this with my next rubric. Thank you so much! Kyle Prince How…

…can meet with each student for just a few minutes at a time and make those meaningful connections that way. Embedded in Feedback When you give students feedback on their work, many digital tools will allow you to attach audio or video clips to that feedback, and audio feedback in particular has been found to have a much more powerful impact on student work than its written equivalent. So instead of setting aside extra time for an MGC, just add it on to the feedback you’re already giving to students. “Give audio feedback on student work,” Stuart says, “and go…

Power Lesson: Poetry Gallery Walk

…2: The Teacher Feedback Here’s the step that I’ve skipped in the past that I added this time before the gallery walk that I highly recommend prioritizing for those embarking towards the final stage of this sequence: offering affirming teacher feedback before the gallery walk. Yes, this does take time—and I actually used a built-in feature in our school’s online Canvas platform to record a couple minutes of audio feedback for each submission. Do this with nearly 100 poems, and that is no small chunk of time, either. Why invest this feedback before the gallery walk? Here is my three-part…
