The idea behind this workshop came from attending Andrew McCarthy’s “Making Thinking Visible” workshop session at Learning 2.012 in Beijing. In his workshop, Mr. McCarthy referenced the book Making Thinking Visible: How to Promote Engagement, Understanding, and Independence for All Learners by Ron Ritchhart, Mark Church, and Karin Morrison of Harvard’s Project Zero. I decided to focus on one of the core questions of both the presentation and the book....

 “HOW CAN WE DOCUMENT STUDENT THINKING SO THAT

BOTH TEACHERS AND STUDENTS ARE BETTER ABLE

TO UNDERSTAND AND DEVELOP IT?”

I use Socrative to create short quizzes, polls and exit tickets. Results are immediate and go into a spread sheet for further

analysis of group and individual needs.

In this example, I used Socrative to gather self assessment data from students regarding their progress on a project.

Text

I have students do brainstorming or organization of ideas on popplet so I can assess their organization and thought process and where there might be gaps.

Task: After a study of the influences of ancient Roman culture on modern life, students were asked to take two photos (with their iPad) of examples of Roman cultural influences in their homes and communities. Then annotate the photo using Skitch including the following information: location of photo, description of photo, how item is related to ancient Roman culture. *I used this task to assess students’ ability to apply to information to a real-world example.

A Similar Task: After study of the characteristics of the Renaissance period, students were asked to take two photos (with their iPad) of examples of the Renaissance cultural influences in their homes and communities. Then annotate the photo using Skitch including the following information: how the item is related to the Renaissance.*I used this task to assess students’ ability to apply to information to a real-world example.

EducreationsEducreations

Page 23: Assessing Learning with Digital Resources (Learning 2.013)

EducreationsEducreationsTask: As we were studying factors that effect the spread of beliefs and ideas (‘grows’ & ‘slows’), students were give 30 minutes to find two images (one to represent a ‘grow’ and one to represent a ‘slow’) and use Educreations to present the two images with an explanation of how they represented the concept.

*I used this informal assessment to assess how well students could explain the concept in their own words.

Example 1: From her presentation, I could assess that this student had a good grasp of the concept as she explained both slides thoroughly in her own words Example 2: This student explained choice of images and his explanations also demonstrated he has a good grasp of the concepts. However, I noticed he used a few words incorrectly (assassination and abandon). Example 3: Although the images and explanations illustrated the concept, this student just repeated examples used in class (as we studied Christianity in Ancient Rome). He would need to apply the concept in a different way for me to feel confident in his understanding of it.

Collaborative Activities• Students have the opportunity to move and/or communicate with others as they

develop and demonstrate their understanding of concepts.

Questions about Big 6 Research

RubricAfter going over the rubric for an upcoming project, students posted questions and concerns on this ‘padlet’. They did not have to put their name on their ‘post’ so students would feel comfortable posting their questions. I was then able to go in and sort the ‘posts’ and see what students needed further support and instruction in. I noticed a lot of questions about vocabulary in the rubric and some instructions.
