#EduDuctTape Question: How can I formatively assess my students?

Pear Deck - "It doesn't feel like an assessment."
- Available SEL Templates
Nearpod
Jamboard
- students respond with or without name on a jam.
- Knikole recommends:
  - Putting 1 question per frame
  - Using post-it colors strategically (red = I don't get it, yellow = I'm not so sure, green = I'm ready to share)
  - Discussing digital citizenship when using Jamboard
  - We discussed the lack of a revision history on Jamboard. However, it has rolled out in the time since the interview was recorded! See Alice Keeler's article about the Revision History in Jamboard here.
Padlet - "you can do so many different things!"
- Students can respond with text, videos, audio, images, drawings, screencasts, links.... just about anything!
- The big issue is the limitations of their free plan. For a new user, you'll only get 3 active "walls," but you can archive, delete, or clear them.
- Individual Pricing or School Pricing
Mentimeter - lots of different options (polls, quizzes, word clouds, Q&A, etc)
- The big issue here is that their free plan only allows 2 question slides and 5 quiz slides per presentation.
- Here is their education Pricing
Formative - great for data and tracking of standards-based mastery
- Their paid plan adds in student growth tracking
Classkick
- Students can add Audio
- Teachers can jump into student slides
- Students can help each other

- Contact Info: @mrhallpass (Twitter/Instagram)

2 Truths & 1 Lie
#EduDuctTape Question: How can we implement technology in the music classroom to engage students in music-learning and music-making?
- Casey advocates for the use of edtech in order to be culturally relevant for your students
- Casey's question for himself: "How are my students making music each day"
- Mobile apps to use as a tuner or as an instrument
- NearPod
  - Initially, Casey used it all on his teacher screen
  - As time went on and Casey got access to more devices, he increased his use of its formative assessment features
  - Nearpod can still be useful if you're not 1:1, Casey has used with students in groups or in stations
  - The use of Nearpod for data collection across multiple classes and 100s of students was valuable for Casey
  - Nearpod VR allows him to present in a more rich way
    - One of the music education standards involving connecting music to other elements and showing a location relating to the music hits this.
  - Draw It slides to draw rhythms, show compositions, etc. to replace paper processes
- Flipgrid - for Chorus auditions
- Incredibox - premade loops
- GarageBand - not the best in primary grades
- Casey's advice: start small, it's okay to take small steps.

2 Truths & 1 Lie
Educational Duct Tape Question: "How do I teach mathematical problem solving digitally?"
- "We are coming from a position where we have always taught it without technology, we should give ourselves a lot of grace."
- In-N-Out burger question
  - Find similar problems at robertkaplinsky.com/lessons
- Desmos Activity Builder for a real-world problem
  - Desmos has pre-built classroom activities, as well as the "Activity Builder" for making your own.
  - Use drag-and-drop editing to add content to an interactive slide deck (text boxes, sketches, graphs, etc.)
  - Slides can be oneway (providing info to students) or interactive (text questions, drag-and-drop, sketch, card sorts, etc.)
  - Can see an overlay view that is similar to what Pear Deck offers
  - Teacher.desmos.com
  - Desmos Marbleslides
  - Desmos can anonymize student names and freeze student screens
  - Sliders let students explore elements of problems, patterns, and graphs (for example, changing the m or b in y=mx + b)
- "A lot of the way that we value mathematics in the United States is on getting the right answers quickly and efficiently. As a teacher, I was really good at creating math robots who could get the answers, but really didn't know what they were talking about."
- Focus on real-world problem-solving in mathematics → mathematical modeling
- "It's easy to enter into, but challenging to master and that, I think, is very satisfying in general."
- Open Middle Math
  - Find problems on https://www.openmiddle.com/
  - Learn why educators' like Open Middle problems at #WhyOpenMiddle
  - Open Middle - "Want the Google Slides?"
    - Asynchronous use of the Google Slides - a separate set of slides for each kid, but that makes it more difficult to observe their work
    - Synchronous - collaborative Google Slides
    - Level up - Google Slides with Pear Deck
      - The video of Robert using Pear Deck with an Open Middle problem is in this workshop.
      - or The Answer Pad
- Open Middle with Desmos Activity Builder
- The Dunning-Kruger Effect - "The more that you learn, the more that you realize you don't know."

Which of the following is less torturous?
Educational Duct Tape Question - As educators what strategies can we use to help students process media propaganda messages?
- Show multiple perspectives
- Look at examples: Instagram post about Usain Bolt having COVID-19 that actually shows a picture of Kevin Hart
- Understanding the motive and reason that someone may post something misleading or untrue
- Looking at similar stories from different perspectives
- How to package a lesson where students view news videos from different sources then compare/contrast and reflect on them.
  - EdPuzzle - build in reflection questions and compare/contrast activities
  - Google Site - package all of that content into one location - even embed the EdPuzzles on the site!
- Fake Sites to look at:
  - Save the Pacific Northwest Tree Octopus - zapatopi.net/treeoctopus
  - Dihydrogen Monoxide - DHMO.org
  - The Dog Island - thedogisland.com
- Be sure to combine fake sites with real sites that seem suspicious
- History of Fake News Timeline from Common Sense Media
- Look at historical events from 2 perspectives - American Revolution from the American perspective and the British perspective.
- "There's two sides to every story, but the truth lies right in the middle."
- Dragnet: "Just need the facts. Only the facts."
- Look at sites that link out to ads or posts to fake content (Yahoo, etc.), look for use of stock photography

2 Truths & 1 Lie
Educational Duct Tape Question: How can I build interactivity into my content?
- "How do you make an interactive lesson?" - making interactivity a focus
- Classroom setup
- Questions & Discussion
- "Whoever is doing the most talking is doing the most learning."
- Move small groups into Zoom or Google Meet breakout rooms and have them respond (or record takeaways) in a collaborative space like Google Docs, Padlet, Jamboard, etc.
- "What needs to be happening is connectivity, connection with my kids, . . . and interactivity." - Dee
- Flipgrid
- Modeling the risk-taking as a teacher, seeking feedback
- Pear Deck - student-paced is available, embed things like Jamboards or Flipgrid Topics
- Seize opportunities for students to share ideas and tips with YOU . . . "Power of Reciprocity"
- Solve in Time - gamified version of design thinking
  - Cards - SOS (ask 3 before me), (1) Problem, (2) Research, (3) Understand, (4) Solve, (5) sharing cards (different cards for different groups)
  - Technology could be included in a variety of ways
  - Could transition into a robust PBL activity
Jake's Additional Interactivity Thoughts:
- Pear Deck--multiple choice, numbers, text, drawing, draggable, website
- Nearpod--similar options, multiple-choice autograde, new EdPuzzle-like video feature, drag-and-drop fill-in-the-blank activities, matching pairs activities (match a picture to text), memory tests, the Time to Climb game. An added bonus is that teachers can now choose to allow students to respond to open-ended questions using audio!
- ClassFlow--all kinds of question types, plus Categorise, Crossword, Flashcards, Labelled Diagram, Matching, Memory Game, Sequencing, Timeline, Venn Diagram, and Word search + gradebook and LMS like features. It's only detriment, possibly, is that it does so much!
- Formative--multiple choice, multiple selection, true or false, short answer, essay, and Show Your Work (students can draw, type, or even upload an image) + more in the paid version…. Great data
- Classkick - Students can respond using drawings, highlights, text, images (even from their webcam!) or audio (yup! They can record their voice!).
- Seesaw--This student work could be a photo, a drawing, an annotated photo (within the drawing tool), a video, a note, audio (within the photo, drawing, or note tool), a link, or an uploaded file.
