CuffeL Nov 6 @ 3:43 PM EST

I like the idea of Concept mapping, https://t.co/aKYXk08lIW But mostly I teach small groups and just ask them

PSullivan28 Nov 6 @ 3:46 PM EST

Really great summary @EllenKMetcalf a key point I’d add is the role of teacher/student relationship and sharing of expectations #edchatie

For 1st/2nd yrs I often give them a pre-test that they peer-correct a couple of days before the real test. #edchatie

5j18MsDoran Nov 6 @ 3:46 PM EST

I also feel that when it comes to assessment, less is more. #edchatie Motivate and inspire, not judge.

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 3:48 PM EST

Feedback very important for moving forward in learning! #edchatie

This only really works where all, or almost items, being assessed will fit on the test. Doesn't work as well if test is a sample #edchatie

#edchatie Patricia Quinn, secondary school teacher and postgrad student 😊

PSullivan28 Nov 6 @ 3:50 PM EST

I enjoyed using table cloth activities enabling collaboration and assessment- chn decide their shared learning and next steps #edchatie

ciaramcguane Nov 6 @ 3:51 PM EST

#AfL a great concept when built into lesson & applied effectively #EdChatIE - Progress Arrows are great ways to engage students with AfL

5j18msquinn Nov 6 @ 3:51 PM EST

#edchatie I find the 3-2-1 activity helpful, especially with younger students! 😊 https://t.co/eNnuwy4NNO

DunleavyMs Nov 6 @ 3:51 PM EST

#EdChatIE I often use exit slips. This allows me to assess the comprehension of a topic. https://t.co/i5DGpzPv6R

ruanemedu Nov 6 @ 3:51 PM EST

I'm lucky to be in IT lab for careers, I use google classroom & suite for cv and career investigation, quick turnaround, comments #edchatie

istone_irene Nov 6 @ 3:52 PM EST

GoogleDocs allows teacher to prompt learners &scaffold learning through comments. Students can also work collaboratively on docs #edchatie

debs_hogan Nov 6 @ 3:52 PM EST

A RT, interesting read #edchatie Teachers: your guide to learning strategies that really work https://t.co/5qIvouvxfK

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 3:52 PM EST

Yes if its a skill. I'm not so sure about other forms of learning. #edchatie unfavorable feedback can be very demotivating

Building HOT questioning into mini progress checks to inform teaching #AfL #EdChatIE

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 3:53 PM EST

According to this 45% of secondary pupils don't think they get enough, or the right kind of "feedback" https://t.co/J9dTKGg5FG #edchatie

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 3:53 PM EST

Feedback should always be constructive and in some light positive! #edchatie

In reply to @CuffeL, @PSullivan28, @EllenKMetcalf

istone_irene Nov 6 @ 3:54 PM EST

#edchatie placemats used in maths classroom, can very quickly see students "thinking" through walking around classroom

istone_irene Oct 27 @ 1:03 PM EDT

How many different ways to solve?Factorising, table, graph, formula. Using placemat to share ideas @ProjectMaths_ie @JCforTeachers

miriambergin Nov 6 @ 3:54 PM EST

#edchatie I use apps as an AFL https://t.co/ltieL7jOMV mostly us Kahoot, ePortfolio, twitter, edupuzzle...

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 3:54 PM EST

This shows, I think, that we've created a monster. Kids are obsessed with "feedback" with v little understanding of what it is #edchatie

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 3:53 PM EST

NB to include 3 key actors, teacher, peers and students and I favour William 5 key strategies, evidence NB #edchatie

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 3:57 PM EST

Giving feedback to every student is difficult for everything they do. Is there a way to effectively give good feedback? #edchatie

In reply to @EllenKMetcalf

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 3:58 PM EST

Agree completely. Would take results with a large pinch of salt. Encourages kids to worry they're not been taught properly #edchatie

In reply to @ruanemedu

MajellaDempsey Nov 6 @ 3:58 PM EST

#edchatie this tells me that skills of self assessment are not being developed, peer assessment and feedback also NB

In reply to @EllenKMetcalf

debs_hogan Nov 6 @ 3:59 PM EST

I agree @ruanemedu.. google classroom is excellent! I’m using it to post quick m. choice q’s PPts/notes.. assignments and articles #edchatie

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 3:59 PM EST

Dearbhla, Infant teacher, Kildare. As has been mentioned, with assessment, less is more, quality over quantity and pretty folders #edchatie

fboss Nov 6 @ 4:00 PM EST

We're halfway through tonight's #edchatie discussion on Formative Assessment Strategies. Grab a halftime orange and then jump back in

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:00 PM EST

#edchatie Agreed. A sign of insecurity and dependency.

In reply to @EllenKMetcalf

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 4:01 PM EST

This, from @joe__Kirby, is brilliant. Individual comments are not the only/the best way! https://t.co/KxMOx14UVo #edchatie

In reply to @AshDonohoe, @joe__kirby

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:01 PM EST

My older students were great fans of Kahoot which I regularly used for assessment. Plickers is another useful tool #edchatie

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 4:02 PM EST

Tried peer assess wt 3rd yrs recently, and got them to give feedback to eachother. Not as successful as I'd hoped, needs tweeking #edchatie

ciaramcguane Nov 6 @ 4:03 PM EST

Using success criteria as guidance, peer assessment enables students to give each other feedback orally/written & you can refine #edchatie

In reply to @AshDonohoe, @EllenKMetcalf

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:03 PM EST

Giving on the spot feedback does work, especially with infants. Sometimes we can be too quick to record and analyse etc #edchatie

PSullivan28 Nov 6 @ 4:03 PM EST

AfL great for promoting participation and engagement #edchatie

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 4:03 PM EST

I need to get a visualiser! On my wishlist! 🤞 #edchatie

In reply to @MajellaDempsey, @EllenKMetcalf

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:04 PM EST

I pose a problem, correct it on the board, and then walk through the class asking if anyone wants me to go over anything. #edchatie

In reply to @AshDonohoe, @EllenKMetcalf

DunleavyMs Nov 6 @ 4:05 PM EST

I agree. I think it depends on class dynamic and abilities. Can be potentially daunting for weaker students. #edchatie

In reply to @AshDonohoe

5j18MrPuszcz Nov 6 @ 4:05 PM EST

We just finished a round of projects/presentations with first year. Each pupil was assigned a student to give positive feedback to #edchatie

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:05 PM EST

As teachers we're hit with latest fads in education re:assessment.Do what you feel works.As @FoleyKev says 'teach from the heart' #edchatie

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:06 PM EST

for Kahoot we had 5/6 iPads. So group assessment on given topic. For plickers only teacher needs phone :) #edchatie

In reply to @ruanemedu

miriambergin Nov 6 @ 4:06 PM EST

#edchatie have used peer assessment in business but sometimes sts don't want to say negative comments, need criteria to based judgement

ciaramcguane Nov 6 @ 4:07 PM EST

It takes time & training for it to be done effectively but valuable and is working smarter which I ❤️ #peerassessment #afl #edchatie

In reply to @ruanemedu, @AshDonohoe, @EllenKMetcalf

MajellaDempsey Nov 6 @ 4:08 PM EST

Marking rubrics can help #edchatie

In reply to @miriambergin

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:08 PM EST

Students can find failure a risk free comfort zone if feedback always shows gaps. #edchatie

In reply to @DunleavyMs, @AshDonohoe

sarahcorcoran55 Nov 6 @ 4:08 PM EST

Kahoot is great I find. Instant and easy #edchatie

In reply to @DearbhlaHere

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 4:08 PM EST

So do I!! #edchatie

In reply to @AshDonohoe, @MajellaDempsey

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:09 PM EST

Im kind of fired up here but I'm not gonna assess every little move my students make,and I'd gladly stand over that #edchatie

AshDonohoe Nov 6 @ 4:09 PM EST

Yes and also subject! I did it in science class, not great! Tried it with 4 weak maths students, worked better! All on same page! #edchatie

In reply to @DunleavyMs

fboss Nov 6 @ 4:10 PM EST

With 20 minutes remaining in tonight's #edchatie hour, please share any other Formative Assessment Strategies - in class or school-wide

100% it's about what is effective for students and teachers #edchatie #worksmarterbehappier

In reply to @DearbhlaHere, @FoleyKev

EllenKMetcalf Nov 6 @ 4:11 PM EST

I find peer assessment can work when quantitative/ looking for common errors, but less so when qualitative judgment called for #edchatie

In reply to @ruanemedu, @ciaramcguane, @AshDonohoe

DearbhlaHere Nov 6 @ 4:11 PM EST

the students love it. I used it at summer camp this year on a rainy day with movie/pop trivia. They went wild! #edchatie

In reply to @sarahcorcoran55

sarahcorcoran55 Nov 6 @ 4:11 PM EST

Sarah. Post primary teacher in Westmeath. As we move towards a system of comment grading/no results, formative more NB than ever #edchatie

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:12 PM EST

Not a big fan here. https://t.co/bD8IplTWAT Too Mechanical. Will help a lot when the A.I.'s take over our job. #edchatie

can't remember where I saw tweet :( classroom walls covered with whiteboards; students work in groups of 3 solving a problem #edchatie

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:14 PM EST

We're trying to put numbers on something that is not in principle countable. What % of your religion or politics do you know? #edchatie

In reply to @donovanpaul

MajellaDempsey Nov 6 @ 4:15 PM EST

If they are well developed and formative rather than marks they can help students judge good work, #edchatie

In reply to @CuffeL, @miriambergin

A positive way of engaging students in critical thinking skills https://t.co/jATU8HFkgx #FISH #edchatie

#edchatie 4 students to one placemat. They sum up the class using keywords on their own then work together to put top 4 keywords into middle

sarahcorcoran55 Nov 6 @ 4:17 PM EST

The good ole show me boards are my most used method. #edchatie

Thank you @fboss a lot of us using same ideas, good to know #edchatie

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:19 PM EST

Pass, fail makes sense. Maybe add distinction. More than that is, IMHO, a deceptive use of numbers, too linear a model. #edchatie

Why not discuss the purpose of feedback with students? This guide from @DocWinstone is a great start. https://t.co/nSZvh8360K #edchatie

CuffeL Nov 6 @ 4:23 PM EST

But: Potentially 32 different levels of knowledge here, or 4 levels in eight dimensions. Is this really a good numerical model? #edchatie
