Ryan7Read Sep 14 @ 10:04 PM EDT

I agree, funny thing was my coach and I were doing a lot of what @alicekeeler @jmattmiller said in the book #ditchbook

Always good to feel validated too! #ditchbook

In reply to @Ryan7Read, @alicekeeler, @jmattmiller

Ryan7Read Sep 14 @ 10:04 PM EDT

A1: I get better reflection, it used to be the class; "scored here, now here." Instead I get more direct data and reflection. #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1: Wow... ditto sheets, pencils, only correct shape bubbles -- not many projects. Sad, if you really think about it. #ditchbook

Ryan7Read Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

Yep and I took some ideas from #epicclassroom with #DitchHW to build more stories with speakers now. #ditchbook

In reply to @rlfreedm, @alicekeeler, @jmattmiller

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

That data and reflection is a great piece! #ditchbook

In reply to @Ryan7Read

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1 My most meaningful assessments are formative. From student observation to exit slips to @flipgrid or @Seesaw responses... 1/2 #ditchbook

craigklement - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1: Still a big focus on state assessments, but more emphasis on formative assessments to drive instructional decision making #DitchBook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1 ... So many different ways for Ss to show what they know! #ditchbook 2/2

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:05 PM EDT

A1 My most meaningful assessments are formative. From student observation to exit slips to @flipgrid or @Seesaw responses... 1/2 #ditchbook

SteinbrinkLaura Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1: Types of assessment have expanded, question types has changed some, and frequency of assessments has increased. #DitchBook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1. Assessment has becomes part of the process, involving Ss. There is no more at the end of a unit. That test is too late. #DitchBook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

That's something I need to get better at, more immediate responses with purposeful technology #ditchbook

In reply to @rachelmarker, @Flipgrid, @Seesaw

drmcclard Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1 give the test on the date chosen and move on. Now: check, reteach/adjust instruction, give feedback as it is occurring. #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

In the moment. I love it. I also started emailing Ss my feedback and assessment thoughts #ditchbook

In reply to @zonie71, @rachelmarker, @Flipgrid, @Seesaw

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

Ours too -- even still today, at times. #ditchbook

I am going to start allowing Ss to retake assessments #ditchbook I already let them use Google for them.

In reply to @drmcclard

kylelaurie Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 I used dittos back in the day! Lots of MC/TF testing facts. I moved to authentic assessments. #ditchbook

Kaylamcbratnie Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Limited information provided, but provides a starting point to knowing students. Improving quickly #CEP416 #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Ahhh, yes, the increase in frequency!! I don't remember taking so many tests years ago #ditchbook

In reply to @SteinbrinkLaura

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

Def takes intention and exploration, right? Love mixing it up. Can't always ask Ss to write responses. Verbal, raps, pictures... #ditchbook

In reply to @zonie71, @Flipgrid, @Seesaw

supervxn Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 WAY faster & simpler. @flubaroo was the pioneer IMO, then @GoogleForEdu forms just keeps improving. in Israel there's @CETtalk #ditchbook

wizardwarren Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

A1 So many possibilities for assessment now, not just scantron or blue book... but choices/change can be overwhelming for Ts #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Something important to remember. Ts are at different places too #ditchbook

In reply to @wizardwarren

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:08 PM EDT

Love that. You create such powerful culture that way. Everyone (teacher, too) is a learner! #ditchbook

In reply to @rlfreedm, @zonie71, @Flipgrid, @Seesaw

Q1: Assessment comes is many different forms and is a part of the process to empowering learning through feedback not discourage. #DitchBook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Not gonna lie, still love me some @Flubaroo!! #ditchbook

In reply to @supervxn, @flubaroo, @GoogleForEdu, @CETtalk, @flubaroo

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

YES! It should be empowering #ditchbook

In reply to @Locke_STEAM

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Totally agree. The "end of unit" test = too late to realize Ss have missed stuff. #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:06 PM EDT

A1. Assessment has becomes part of the process, involving Ss. There is no more at the end of a unit. That test is too late. #DitchBook

emosier3 Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Good evening, #ditchbook friends! Evan Mosier, Tech Integrationist Lead Teacher- Davenport, IA checking in a tad late.

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Q2 coming up soon! @zonie71 #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Forgot about scantrons... the 1/2 sheets of paper were our "final assessments" #ditchbook

Kaylamcbratnie Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

Can't the limited ways that it assess students discourage them if they don't fit? #CEP417 #ditchbook

In reply to @Locke_STEAM

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:09 PM EDT

You are here though! #ditchbook

In reply to @emosier3

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Q2. Things are really changing with #edtech #ditchbook crew what do you think?

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Yet we test and move on. I finally said what is the point? Going to guided math. #ditchbook

In reply to @drmcclard

emosier3 Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A1: There has been more emphasis on Common Formative Assessment, in addition to everything carrying a more digital personae. #ditchbook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

YESSSS! We're teaching for mastery of skills/standards, so allow retakes. Ss identify what they need to learn, own their journey. #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:07 PM EDT

I am going to start allowing Ss to retake assessments #ditchbook I already let them use Google for them.
In reply to @drmcclard

Ryan7Read Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

A2: For me it has given more options, better ways and more direct reflection from students. #ditchbook

Ryan7Read Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

I'm out everyone. Night. #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2a: Ss can create, virtually visit, and explore beyond their imaginations. Assessment like this is mind blowing. #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2. #edtech has made it easier for me to assess Ss anytime anywhere. Allows assessment to be a conversation. #DitchBook

wizardwarren Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Anyone else in #ditchbook remember smelling those dittos fresh off the copier during a test?

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Being positive is a definite YES! Feedback is so important #ditchbook

In reply to @Locke_STEAM

craigklement - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2: automatic grading, quicker/immediate feedback to students, differentiated. The list goes on and on #DitchBook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Exactly! WHEN in real life are we not allowed to try again and do better? #ditchbook

In reply to @craigklement, @rlfreedm, @drmcclard

emosier3 Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A2: It's certainly made the process more efficient. Having the ability to share out a Google Form has made a drastic difference! #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Hey, Evan! Glad you're here! #ditchbook

In reply to @emosier3

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:11 PM EDT

MrWawczak Sep 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A2: More formative options and much quicker feedback are two huge factors #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Q2. Things are really changing with #edtech #ditchbook crew what do you think?

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:12 PM EDT

It caused me to go gradeless #ditchbook

Heck yeah! And reinforces #growthmindset and perseverance in our kids #ditchbook

In reply to @rlfreedm

In reply to @rachelmarker, @craigklement, @drmcclard

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

I'm moving my math "grades" to the standards, not the assignments. Love the idea from #ditchHW on that one #DitchBook

In reply to @rachelmarker

kylelaurie Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2 Using tools like @Flipgrid allow students to show what they know in ways other than bubble tests. #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

Game changers! #ditchbook

In reply to @MrWawczak

wizardwarren Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

A2 I'm interested in @goformative and @classflow for formative assessment... #ditchbook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

And it's personal! ANNNND, it's not a red pen marking up their work. Blech! #ditchbook

In reply to @Locke_STEAM

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:13 PM EDT

I made a rubric for the math practices #ditchbook

In reply to @zonie71, @rachelmarker

In reply to @rlfreedm

SteinbrinkLaura Sep 14 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A2: Tech can grade tests for me, allows for video assessments, various formative assessments with @GetKahoot & @PearDeck. #DitchBook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Awesome! And if they do better on a later assessment of those standards, their new grade is the one that counts! #ditchbook

In reply to @zonie71

rcs2ndary1 Sep 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

A2: Provides options for Ss. Video, Audio, direct response or upload a link. #Choice #ditchbook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

Would love to see it, Rayna! For Ss to self-assess? #ditchbook

In reply to @rlfreedm, @zonie71

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:15 PM EDT

And it is the feedback that is a catalyst for change #ditchbook

In reply to @craigklement

A2: much faster and allows me to go deeper cause I save time not grading multiple chice Qs #ditchbook

In reply to @rachelmarker, @craigklement, @drmcclard

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:17 PM EDT

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:17 PM EDT

Borrow away #ditchbook

In reply to @zonie71, @rachelmarker

A2b I also like @nearpod which allows for immediate checks for understanding with the ability to reteach. #ditchbook

Q3 Peer assess. allows Ss to understand how to better work in a group and interact with one another. #CEP416 #ditchbook

A3: Peer assessment has a place b/c sometimes Ss can be tougher than me - but explain things diff for a diff perspective=positive #ditchbook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A2 The magical "comment" button in #GoogleforEducation allows for immediate, personalized feedback. + 1/2 #ditchbook

In reply to @rachelmarker, @Flipgrid, @Seesaw, @EDpuzzle

Stella_Pollard Sep 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A3: Students learn better from each other than from their Ts for feedback. They care what their friends think. #ditchbook

That quick response is so important! #ditchbook

Hey #DitchBook! Matt here, checking in late from Indiana. Looks like you're off to a great start!

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A3. Ss can learn so much from each other. Having Ss create assessments is so empowering. Google Forms is a great tool for this #ditchbook

Kaylamcbratnie Sep 14 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Q3 By eval. other Ss learn have to think about other deficits and allows them to think of ways to improve theirs/others #ditchbook

zonie71 Sep 14 @ 10:19 PM EDT

Exactly!! #ditchbook

In reply to @supervxn

A3: With ease of collaboration using G Suite, @Flipgrid, @RecapThat, and other programs, peer assessment is easier to implement.#DitchBook

rcs2ndary1 Sep 14 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: Peer review is powerful. When Ss have an audience the whole learning process can be very meaningful. #ditchbook

A crucial one. Peer assessment is the kind many Ss will get in the real world. Getting them ready now is huge. #DitchBook

Q3 - What role do you see peer assessment playing within the classroom? #DitchBook @rlfreedm

MrWawczak Sep 14 @ 10:21 PM EDT

A3: We have classrooms with many creative minds. All can be used as makers of assessment and givers of feedback at times #DitchBook

A3 peer assessment has its place but self assessment is KEY! #ditchbook

Yep! Ss can use the comment tool, too! #ditchbook

jmattmiller - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:21 PM EDT

YES! They do care what their friends think ... and they'll often do their best work if peers are watching. #DitchBook

Stella_Pollard Sep 14 @ 10:18 PM EDT

A3: Students learn better from each other than from their Ts for feedback. They care what their friends think. #ditchbook

A3: As critical as reflection is for Ss, peer assessment is close! Giving Ss this ability offers greater learning. But, how? #ditchbook

rachelmarker Sep 14 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A3 Students often learn more from their peers than they do from us. Harness that in learning process! #ditchbook

rlfreedm Sep 14 @ 10:22 PM EDT

Next question coming soon #ditchbook

#GrowthMindset is another important piece to have with assessment -- don't give up! #ditchbook

Stella_Pollard Sep 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: Love using @jmattmiller and @ShakeUpLearning ’s idea on using a Google Keep to keep frequently used comments on & copy/paste #ditchbook

emosier3 Sep 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4: Through Google Classroom, Comments on a Google Doc, face to face. Even the simplest high five can have a major impact on a S. #ditchbook

craigklement - Moderator Sep 14 @ 10:25 PM EDT

A4 conferences, small group, written out explanations if unable to do more. (Nowadays, I might use video w its ease) #ditchbook
