No snow just our "liquid sunshine". #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:05 PM EDT

timoman Apr 4 @ 9:05 PM EDT

Hi everyone! Tim here, product and engineering at @Classkick. Looking forward to a great chat! #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Q1: How can providing students with meaningful feedback enhance learning or improve student achievement? #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1: Feedback tells students how close they are to the goal. Meaningful feedback should continue guiding them ever closer. #ClasskickChat

swampfrogfirst Apr 4 @ 9:08 PM EDT

Peachy Keene! #classkickchat. Had a great PD session on @Classkick over the weekend and seemed well received!

In reply to @Classkick, @Classkick

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: I also think that feedback can help illustrate a finer point that the student might have missed, or help them explore #ClasskickChat

timoman Apr 4 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1: Susually want to succeed, only to get discouraged on the way. Feedback helps focus what the goal is and how to get there #ClasskickChat

swampfrogfirst Apr 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Meaningful feedback helps Ss grow more & gives them a feeling of “I can do this!”. #classkickchat

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:10 PM EDT

A1: Feedback allows Ss to know specifically what they can improve upon and gives them suggestions and ideas to guide them! #classkickchat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@swampfrogfirst Absolutely agree with that one! And with increased motivation should come increased achievement #ClasskickChat

In reply to @swampfrogfirst, @swampfrogfirst

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q2: When Ss are trying to learn new skills, how do you give them info about whether or not they are doing the right thing? #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1: Feeback supports personal connection. I may not be able to meet in class but can touch base via feedback. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@LProsser15 Providing that feedback also helps us teachers realize what may not have been mastered and how we should change #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LProsser15, @LProsser15

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: Also builds a culture of how to accept constructive feedback. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A2: It probably depends on the skill, but in middle school math, for example, many small guided practice problems at first #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: With those smaller sub-problems, the feedback could be very quick and immediate and help them move on to larger concepts #ClasskickChat

swampfrogfirst Apr 4 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A2: Modeling helps set the stage along with small group or independent learning stations. Love having peer tutors as well. #classkickchat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1. Instant feedback can reduce the development of bad habits that lead to errors. It also builds confidence #ClasskickChat

timoman Apr 4 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A2: There's always a balance of letting students explore vs. guiding them enough that they're on the right track #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@swampfrogfirst Yes! Having that first bit of feedback from a peer often helps clarify the concept even better than I could! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @swampfrogfirst, @swampfrogfirst

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A2: I tend to leave voice and make sure they hear the "coaching" and "encouraging" vs. criticism. #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A2: It is important to help them fix anything at initial stages, so they don't continue to make same mistakes. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@cathyhink I could definitely see that with your little ones! Do you have discussions about strategies to receive feedback? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @cathyhink, @cathyhink

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2: In 1st, ALOT of modeling to show expectations/skills. I also show "how not to" ways! Ss find it funny but often remember! #classkickchat

annfeldmann1 Apr 4 @ 9:19 PM EDT

It is powerful to correct Ss in real-time, as they are working! Immediate feedback = powerful! #classkickchat

In reply to @MsSLemke

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@swampfrogfirst Yes! Peer to peer feedback is awesome. I'm so glad we can allow for students to help each other on Classkick. #ClasskickChat

In reply to @swampfrogfirst, @swampfrogfirst

MrsJCarlson Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A2: It's important to give immediate feedback and correction as close together as possible-more likely to remember. #classkickchat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@LauraLitton we practice "coaching" 1 complement % 1 idea for growth in our face 2 face work & this moves 2 digital coaching #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@LProsser15 I wish I would have explored this more in upper grades - here's how NOT to find common denominators... #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LProsser15, @LProsser15

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q3: In your classroom, do you give more feedback about the mastery of specific content or the mastery of how to think? #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A3: With growth mindset so present it is all about growth - we embrace mistakes. #ClasskickChat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 4 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Builds vital collaboration skills as well #classkickchat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@swampfrogfirst Yes! Peer to peer feedback is awesome. I'm so glad we can allow for students to help each other on Classkick. #ClasskickChat
In reply to @swampfrogfirst, @swampfrogfirst

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: Word problems lend themselves well to talking about mastering how to think, rather than the specific content in the ?s #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: We discover more from our mistakes and explore "fix-its" We celebrate "woot woot we get to learn!" #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: I think one of our roles as educators is to help students with the mastery of how to think... #ClasskickChat

swampfrogfirst Apr 4 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A3: I’m with @cathyhink on #growthmindset & allowing them to discuss the How & Why they think the way they do. #classkickchat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:24 PM EDT

@cathyhink I'm imagining all your students like this: https://t.co/uVGKyyn7Us #ClasskickChat

In reply to @cathyhink, @cathyhink

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Content is not necessarily going to be applicable to the Ss later in life, but the mastery of how to think will be! #ClasskickChat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 4 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3 I do both but focus a great deal on process. Ss need guidance in thinking processes in order to tackle any challenge #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@MsSLemke So true! Memorized prepositions in 8th grade and I don't need those but remember the importance of movement & song #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsSLemke, @MsSLemke

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: @swampfrogfirst YES! We spend a lot of energy in the Why? Why it matters we share our thinking - it is a big value. #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Q4: What, in your experience, have been the most effective ways to use feedback with your students? #ClasskickChat

annfeldmann1 Apr 4 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3: I agree! Helping them learn to own their learning, take pride in their work, and discover the joy in thinking is awesome! #classkickchat

In reply to @MsSLemke

MrsJCarlson Apr 4 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Yes! So many things they can "look up" now. Hope my kids know how to think critically & solve problems when they are older! #classkickchat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A3: Content is not necessarily going to be applicable to the Ss later in life, but the mastery of how to think will be! #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A4: Talking about audience helps us think about Quality and WOW work. Work we are proud of. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:30 PM EDT

@cathyhink And probably, investing students in authentic audiences really gets them excited/enthusiastic about their work! #ClasskickChat

In reply to @cathyhink, @cathyhink

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Co-creating goals and rubrics with student - what would WOW or Quality work look like? Honor student voice & ownership. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Making sure to highlight something I loved about their work & then something they can do even better. Acknowledge effort. #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:31 PM EDT

A4: Reality of audience has been a "game changer" post work 2 digital portfolios & get parent, class feedback is powerful #ClasskickChat

swampfrogfirst Apr 4 @ 9:33 PM EDT

Thanks #ClasskickChat wish I could stay longer. Have a great evening!

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:33 PM EDT

A4: I love involving my Ss in the process! Ss self reflect when they meet with me & share with their Ps via an app we use! #classkickchat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@LauraLitton So true, acknowledge Effort! Especially with emphasis on Test, it isn't just about a standardized test score. #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LauraLitton, @LauraLitton

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:35 PM EDT

@LProsser15 So key to engage all Ss in the reflection process! Glad to hear your 1st graders are really engaging & growing #ClasskickChat

In reply to @LProsser15, @LProsser15

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Q5: How do you ensure your feedback increases motivation,builds on knowledge, and helps Ss reflect on what they've learned? #ClasskickChat

timoman Apr 4 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5: It's got to be positive, specific, and actionable (either concrete action or promote further thought)! #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Wow - that's a lot of expectations around each piece of feedback! I think I try to ensure my feedback hits at least one #ClasskickChat

KBaumgartner75 Apr 4 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5 Feedback has to be specific and descriptive so Ss are clear about what they are doing correctly so they can repeat it #classkickchat

dragan39 Apr 4 @ 9:38 PM EDT

A5: Doug from VA tonight! Have the Ss present and coach as way of feedback and Ss reflection #ClasskickChat

Classkick - Moderator Apr 4 @ 9:38 PM EDT

@timoman Or we usually abbreviate it as "Actionable, Specific, Kind" so when we ASK for feedback, it hits all of those points #ClasskickChat

In reply to @timoman, @timoman

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5: Acknowledge the growth, effort - go back and celebrate where there were and where they are - again portfolios help #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@dragan39 And do you think the students coaching each other provides its own motivation? (That they might miss from us?) #ClasskickChat

In reply to @dragan39, @dragan39

MrsJCarlson Apr 4 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: I think it's important for students to reflect on their learning & reflect often to learn from mistakes. #classkickchat

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5: I agree with @timoman & I like to celebrate success! I do "give 2 claps" & the class gives them 2! Quick & Ss love it! #classkickchat

dragan39 Apr 4 @ 9:42 PM EDT

#ClasskickChat of course some but only in regards to correct or maybe try this. More from peer edit and cheers from them presenting orally.

In reply to @LauraLitton

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@dragan39 I often think student coaching is often more powerful - shift from how to "get the grade " to "how can I grow" #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:43 PM EDT

@MrsJCarlson And try their best not to repeat those mistake :-D #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MrsJCarlson, @MrsJCarlson

dragan39 Apr 4 @ 9:43 PM EDT

And what can I achieve? #classkickchat

In reply to @cathyhink

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:44 PM EDT

Last but not least...Q6: What tools are you using in your classroom to help you provide meaningful feedback to students? #ClasskickChat

cathyhink Apr 4 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6: Including reflection/coaching in presenting, goal setting, comments in portfolios #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6: Reading logs that act like a diary or journal back and forth between student & teacher. They "talk" to me through writing #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6: I of course use @Classkick to provide immediate feedback to students. It has totally changed my classroom dynamic! #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A6: I also use several other edtech tools like @Nearpod, @Socrative, @quizizz, @Schoology. #ClasskickChat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: Before Classkick, I would use a lot of Google Docs to give feedback to students about their writing. Needed emails though #ClasskickChat

dragan39 Apr 4 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: #classkickchat @Classkick @Socrative @moodle to name a few

In reply to @MsSLemke, @Classkick, @Socrative, @moodle

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A6: I do a goal meeting twice a quarter to give feedback in person! Otherwise, I use Classkick and Seesaw! #classkickchat

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:52 PM EDT

I often struggled between the visual goals (like sticker charts) and digital feedback tools to give students. Preferences? #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:53 PM EDT

To wrap things up, I just want to say thanks for the opportunity to host the chat tonight @Classkick. #ClasskickChat

MsSLemke Apr 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

And thank you to all who participated or followed along tonight! #ClasskickChat

Classkick - Moderator Apr 4 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@MsSLemke Thank YOU for hosting! Any final tips / brilliant ideas for any lurkers out there? #ClasskickChat

In reply to @MsSLemke, @MsSLemke

timoman Apr 4 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Thanks for hosting! I thought this was a really great discussion on effective feedback! #classkickchat

In reply to @MsSLemke, @Classkick

LauraLitton Apr 4 @ 9:56 PM EDT

Are there any classrooms out there doing "Shark Tank"-like activities for students to "propose" their great science ideas? #ClasskickChat

dragan39 Apr 4 @ 9:57 PM EDT

Depends on quickly grading or depth of providing feedback. #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton

LProsser15 Apr 4 @ 9:59 PM EDT

my best friend @iDiscoverFPMS just did! #classkickchat

In reply to @LauraLitton, @iDiscoverFPMS
