It's so hard for even Ts to get away from points collection when Ss don't want to do the work #DitchBook

Tightening the feedback loop helps, if kids can see their own progress - they see the value in the practice #ditchbook

A3: Ss enjoy hearing how great they're doing, so a little tap on the desk w/ a thumbs up, a high 5, or an exploding fist bump! #DitchBook

Q3 #DitchBook How can Ts lose the RED pen & give meaningful feedback? @KarlyMoura @jmattmiller

ChasGregory314 Oct 26 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3) I have a middle island in my room & we do random group time in the middle. Ss love it & I give tons of feedback. It's great! #DitchBook

jmattmiller - Moderator Oct 26 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3: The old "sandwich feedback" still works for low-tech feedback: Praise Suggestion Praise #DitchBook #DitchHW

#ditchbook reading logs are a pain. They are just a shwcse of bks tht were read. Get rid of 'em!!

In reply to @jghfoundation08

TTmomTT - Moderator Oct 26 @ 10:26 PM EDT

I still post if Ss have completed it or not for Ps to see it just has no points attached. Allows for convos on need to vs have to #DitchBook

Yep. I have red pens, but don't use them for grading and feedback #ditchbook

Just sitting next to a kiddo and chatting with them is the best. Nothing can replace facetime with your students. #DitchBook

#ditchbook A2: Give Ss options of how they want to c & practice content. When they c it their way they care more. ONLY LEARNING IS IMPORTANT

A3) My Ss have comp books that they write in. I read them regularly, write feedback, sometimes give stickers. Never for a grade #DitchBook

My wife has always insisted on grading in green or purple. Less bloody than red. #DItchBook
