  1. Electronic Assessment and Instructional Tools Uneeb Qureshi Please have laptops ready!

  2. History • For those who were here in 2012-2013 you saw some of this presentation by Brian Kam • Since then I have been using Socrative as an assessment tool in the classroom to moderate success. • This presentation is meant to introduce this tool and provide you examples of how it can be used in the classroom.

  3. Socrative • Visit http://t.socrative.com/ • This is the teacher’s login page and it has the link to create an account • Things to do first: • Name your classroom (mine is uq1) • Create quizzes by visiting “Manage Quizzes” • Create a Quiz using their online tool • Download the excel sheet to create one from “Import” • Use a quiz shared by someone else

  4. Socrative : Question Types • Multiple Choice • Question with Standard A-E answer choice format • Can use multiple choices (e.g. “Which three choices are true?”) • Can also use images (e.g. a table of data, a picture of a person) • Short Answer • Question with a box to answer • Can have pre-set keyword answers (e.g. an answer contains the phrase “the apple is red” , the software will grade as correct)** • True/False • Similar to MC, question with T/F answer choices (images optional)

  5. How students access it • Visit http://m.socrative.com • They type in your classroom name • You need to start the quiz before anything will show up on their screen • Once you hit end assessment it will end on their screen (no more asking for students to turn in exams/put pencils down) • You can see the # of students doing the quiz on screen, and who is completed. • We will demonstrate types of assessments on next slide, you should follow along at the site above

  6. Socrative : Assessment Formats • Single-Question • Does not require a pre-made assessment • Works in tandem with pre-made powerpoints, only collects responses to questions on screen. Grading done later (on your own time) • Pre-made Quiz • Questions given one at a time (as made by you on their site) • Pre-set answers, however grading corrections can be done later • Collects responses in excel sheet for review later w/scores by software (can be edited) • Student paced (they click next) or teacher paced (go to next question at set intervals) • Exit Ticket • Short answer screen provided for students to submit answer (answers collected in excel) • Space Race • Correct answers from individuals or teams propel a space ship on a teacher’s screen forward. First spaceship to reach the end wins. • Requires a large set of questions and answers (a good review game)

  7. Grading • Please visit http://leapshares.wikispaces.com/ and click “Socrative Assessments” on left side to see examples • A report at the end of the assessment can be e-mailed to you or downloaded directly. • Displays an excel sheet. I would recommend freezing first column pane to make grading easier • You can set grading scheme, I double check multiple choices for consistency (but score is tallied all the way on right) • For open ended I do a red/yellow/green highlighting grade scheme (red = 0 pts, yellow = partial, green = full credit) and read individual responses from excel cells. I wrap text to make it easier but this method will take practice

  8. Requirements • Technology • Your laptop runs the quiz/master screen • Internet access required (no software for local network setup) • Students need either • Their own laptop (easy for seniors/juniors) • School laptop • Mobile device (smart phones with browser) • Time • You need to plan for assessments and set aside time for grading • If you’d like to set this software to do homework the assessment will have to be running overnight (leave it running on laptop) • Take into account set up (students get laptops, use, and put away)

  9. Example of Overnight/Day-Long Q • Smithsonian Field Trip Scavenger Hunt 2013 • Students from 11th grade were tasked with answering questions in sequence throughout the Smithsonian Natural History Museum. • Quiz ran from MrQureshi’s laptop at 6am in his classroom • Students arrived at Museum and began scavenger hunt from cell phones (a few tasks required taking pictures next to fossils which had to be submitted separately) • Arrived back at 6pm and ended assessment from laptop to retain report.

  10. Considerations • Pros • Paperless, assessment and grading • Easily deployable, runs on all browsers and devices • Only excel needed for creation and deployment of assessment • Free • Cons • Lack of a back feature on quizzes (one shot to answer) • Students can restart quiz to resolve this (but it starts from beginning) • Need laptop (tough for some grades) or smartphones (school rules need to be modified/students need to be monitored)

  11. Upcoming additions to Socrative • Common Core Standards can be linked to the quizzes • Can replace pen/paper unit assessments with ease • Free TenMarks CCSS Math Curriculum through Amazon.com

  12. Doceri • Remote control layout • Laptop hooked up to SmartBoard • Doceri Desktop runs on laptop • Password protected by default (computer login) • Doceri application runs on tablet/smartphone • As long as you are on the same wi-fi network your laptop will show up • Basic keyboard/mouse controls available + wipable screen • Requirements • Laptop • Tablet

  13. Doceri • Pros • Mobility around classroom • Student engagement with screen brought to them • Have a student solve a problem out from their desk/with their notes • Free • Colored markers + highlighters built in • Cons • Some smartboard features won’t work from this interface • Small screen input (tablet end)

  14. Examples • Find the x-intercepts of y = x2 + 2x + 1

  15. Examples • Diagram the circulation of blood through the heart

  16. Examples • If a ball is thrown up vertically at 30 m/s, what is the maximum height that it reaches?

  17. Examples • Draw and identify the molecular shape for UF6?

  18. Textbook Websites • Self-explanatory • Use as a supplement in and outside of class • E.g. Chemistry textbook website for homeworks/tests/quizzes/graphics • E.g. Statistics textbook website has powerpoints/data sets/quizzes • Most textbooks (esp Teacher’s Editions) allow you to sign up a class for online access • Quizzes provide instant feedback to help students correct mistakes • DISCLAIMER: Every textbook is different, but most textbook companies provide invaluable online resources for classroom

  19. Student Websites • Great way to teach internet/coding literacy through HTML • Students can post all their work in one spot for easy reference (reduced e-mail workload) • Artistic project with very extensive creativity and technical expertise to be gained • See current examples at my personal website; http://www.originthenovel.com/mrq • The school webmaster does not reply to everyone, will work on maybe being able to host all student pages through the main page

  20. Colloquia/Student Presentations • Piloted in 2013-2014 with the 11C (then “Science Track”) • Students in Advanced Chemistry were studying chemistry in the fields of… • Astronomy • Inorganic Chemistry • Organic Chemistry • Biochemistry/Microbiology • Ethics • Several presentations on Powerpoints were made by students and presented in front of their peers during the day (classes were invited to come to learn about their research) • I made it extra credit for my 10th grade classes to come and ask questions to the students presenting. • Audience was surveyed on presenter effectiveness and certificates were made

  21. Examples • 2012-2013 - Teams worked together on various powerpoints; • 2013-2014 – Individual students did Prezi presentations • More intuitive interface and unique animations on the web

  22. Online Assignments (Per Admin) • Should assign as supplement • If students have issues with internet access they need to remain after school to use library. • If students have computer issues at home they can discuss with admin on signing out a laptop for home use. • No excuses, assign and grade incompletes as zeroes accordingly (students should be seeking assistance to aid them in this process)

  23. Discussion • Get in content area groups and discuss ways to streamline the assessment process with these tools. • Frequency of assessments • Depth of assessment (Bloom’s Taxonomy) • Design an assessment to utilize in your classroom with these tools
