Face-to-Face and Online Training. News Articles. Teaching with Technology. Teachers' and Administrators' Digests. Annual Technology and Distance Learning Symposium. Online Resources for Adult Education. OTAN dot US. 916-228-2580. OTAN Online. Technology and Distance Learning Symposium. A Quick Look at Formative Assessment. Anthony Burik. OTAN. March 3, 2022. (SPEECH) ANTHONY BURIK: So we are here for a quick look at formative assessment. (DESCRIPTION) Anthony Burik, OTAN Project Specialist. a burik @ OTAN dot US. (SPEECH) And as I mentioned at the very bottom of this slide, you can see a link-- OK, I'm not sure why this is popping up, but let me just tell slide it right-- at the bottom of my slide, you can see a link to my resources bit.ly/TDLS22formassessfolder. Bit.ly links are case sensitive, so you need to type it exactly as you see it. And then that should get you to a copy of my slides and also my notes document as well. (DESCRIPTION) Agenda. A little about OTAN. Poll and survey tools. Using video to present and assess. Using slides to present and assess. Classic formative assessment tools. Exit and entrance tickets. Evaluation and Resources: bit dot l y slash TDLS 22 form assess folder. (SPEECH) OK, so here's our agenda for the next bit of time here. So just for those of you who are not familiar with OTAN, I just want to give you a little bit of information about our organization, and then we're going to take a look at a number of different tools that you might consider using for formative assessment in your classroom. We're going to start with polling and surveying tools. We're going to then talk about how you can use video to present and assess, how to use slides to present and assess. We're also going to talk about some classic formative assessment tools. These are tools that I think many of you or a number of you have learned about in the last couple of years. So think about a tool like a Kahoot! Or quiz lit or quizzes, something like that. Then we're also going to talk about exit and entrance tickets and how you might use those in your class. And then, again, at the very end if you could complete the evaluation. And then the resources folder is there as well. Those resources will be available after TDLS, so please feel free to take advantage of them, share them with your colleagues and all that good stuff. (DESCRIPTION) California State Leadership Projects. (SPEECH) OK, just a quick word about OTAN. So we are very lucky, in the state of California, to have three different state leadership projects for adult education. Hopefully, you're familiar with all three of them. CALPRO is one, CASAS is another, and OTAN is a third, and we focus on technology training for adult educators around the state. So besides TDLS, we do a lot of technology training for agencies all around the state. So if you ever have any need for technology training, please reach out to us. More than happy to be in touch with you and see how we can help you with your technology training back at your agencies. (DESCRIPTION) Formative Assessment. (SPEECH) OK, so let's get started with kind of a definition of formative assessment. So this definition, I like it. It says on the screen here, formative assessments refer to tools that identify misconceptions, struggles, and learning gaps, and assess how to close those gaps. (DESCRIPTION) Link: Yale CTL. (SPEECH) And in my view, formative assessment really helps you decide what it is you're going to be teaching, what you need to reteach, , and maybe what you need not to teach. So this is really important for us when we're working in the classroom and working with our students, is that we walk into our class with a lesson plan, kind of an idea about how the time is going to go in class. And if we're doing formative assessment as a part of our work in the lesson, we may come to points in our lesson when we realize we need to kind of pause from the lesson plan, perhaps deviate from the lesson plan a bit in order to-- because maybe we've identified some sort of a learning gap with the content that we're working with the students. And rather than just sort of continuing on with and not really doing anything about it, we, in the moment, might want to figure out what it is we can be doing to try to close those gaps in the moment. So rather than sort of leaving them to the end or until next week or whenever, we can use formative assessment in the moment to work on those learning gaps and whatever it is that the students are struggling with. So it's a really powerful tool as a teacher. And again, it really helps you decide what it is you should be doing at any one moment in your classroom with your students. (DESCRIPTION) Let's Start with an Entrance Ticket. (SPEECH) So what I'd like for us to do first is to start with an exit-- sorry, with an entrance ticket. And let me go to the chat. I'm going to put a copy to the entrance ticket in the chat it's another bit.ly address. bit.ly/TDLS22entrance. (DESCRIPTION) Note: It's case sensitive. (SPEECH) So I did put a link to that in the chat. Go ahead and you can click on that link, open up the my entrance ticket. What I'm going to do is I'm going to stop sharing and I'm going to navigate over to that entrance ticket so we can all see that. Close this up here. OK, let me share my screen again so we can all see what we're looking at here. (DESCRIPTION) TDLS 2022 -- Entrance Ticket. We use formative assessment to identify (misconceptions, struggles, learning gaps, etc.) and assess (how to close the gaps, correct the misconceptions, etc.). (SPEECH) OK, so what we're looking at here is an entrance ticket. For those of you who have used Google Forms before or Microsoft Forms, this is a Microsoft form, so basically, the Microsoft version of a Google form. So I'm using a Microsoft form here as an entrance ticket. So basically, we're coming into the class, we're coming in to the session, I want to get some basic information about who's here, things that you're interested in learning about and all that. If you're not familiar with Microsoft Forms by the way, I do want to point out this tool that's embedded in a Microsoft form. It's called Immersive Reader. And basically, what this tool enables you to do is-- Immersive Reader will actually read the text that you see to the person who's looking at the form. So think about your ESL students for example or some of your ABE students who are still working with the language. This might be a great tool to use for those students so that they can read the text but also hear it using the Microsoft Immersive Reader. So that's why I like to use Microsoft Forms over Google Forms at the moment, just because that Immersive Reader tool is available. And it could be a real great tool for some of your students, depending on who you're working with. (DESCRIPTION) Statistics on the form. Responses: 8. Average time to complete: 1 minute and 1 second. Status: Active. (SPEECH) So like a Google form Microsoft form is a dynamic form as well. So as students are completing the form, the responses are coming in. (DESCRIPTION) A color-coded pie chart keeps track of the five response percentages to each question. (SPEECH) So I can see that so far I have eight responses. I'm also checking the chat. Susan, did you click on-- SusanD, did you click on the link to the bit.ly? I'm not sure if-- SPEAKER 2: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 2. (SPEECH) Yes. And I even try to copy and paste it into my address bar. Keeps giving me the same message on Microsoft and on Google Chrome. I mean, on EDGE and on Google Chrome. ANTHONY BURIK: OK. OK. Not sure how to solve that problem at the moment, Susan, but maybe you can just-- SPEAKER 2: OK, sorry, sorry about that. ANTHONY BURIK: That's OK. That's OK. OK, so looks like so far 13 folks have completed this, mostly teachers. We do have an administrator in the room. We have some other folks as well. Always interested to know what those other folks are up to back at those-- at their agencies. And I did ask a couple of questions. What's one thing you hope to gain from today's session? And then if you have a favorite formative assessment tool, what is it? Why did you choose that one? So again, I can take a look and see what my students have-- how my students have answered this question. (DESCRIPTION) A table records the ID number, name, and responses of each participant. (SPEECH) So looking for some new ideas. How to use them effectively. Help teachers creating common formative assessments. OK, very good. Yeah, how to close those learning gaps once I've identified them with the formative assessment tool. Good. OK, so good. So we're getting some good responses here. And then also, what's your favorite tool and why? So let's see what people said at the moment. So CASAS test. OK, Kahoot! Don't have one. Google Forms, polls, only Google Forms, Canvas quizzes, Google Forms. OK, so for example, let's think about this from the teacher point of view. So we've already gotten a number of responses about Google Forms. Like, people say, yeah, I do use Google Forms already. So let's say in my lesson or my presentation, I was going to do this whole 20 minute segment on Google Forms. OK, well, maybe I don't need to do that. Maybe I should show you all something else because a lot of you are already familiar with Google Forms. There's no point in-- well, sorry, from my point of view, in the moment, as a teacher, there's no point of view in talking about Google Forms when, like, half of you already know what the Google form is. Maybe I should use that opportunity to teach something else or to cover something else with the content. So this is the power already of the entrance ticket. I'm getting some information about what's going on in the class with my students and it's helping me to kind of-- maybe I need to make some adjustments as we proceed through the class or proceed through the session or whatever. So this is really what we're talking about in terms of how we can use formative assessment as a tool for our teaching. All right, so let me stop sharing that. I'm going to go back to my slides. Oops. And I have lost my Zoom. Where are you, Zoom? One sec. Here we go. OK, so we did our entrance ticket already. We're going to move on to the next thing here. (DESCRIPTION) Poll or Survey? (SPEECH) All right, so the next thing that I want to talk about here is polling tools or surveying tools. And we tend to use these interchangeably. We tend to either call it a poll or survey, just we think it's the same thing, but there is a difference between polling and surveying. A poll is used to ask one question at a time. One question, next question, next question. While a survey is generally asked-- or used to ask a wide range of multiple choice-- multiple questions, sorry. So what we just did with the entrance ticket was a survey, because basically, you had all the questions and everybody was able to proceed at their own pace versus if we did a poll, if I just ask you a question one by one, then we all proceed through the questions as a group. So some of us will finish it quicker. Some of us need more time. But we're all-- if we're doing a poll, then we're going to go one by one, and it doesn't really matter whether you did it quickly or slowly. Survey allows the students to-- or the respondents to answer the questions kind of at their own pace. So think about this when you think about how you want to set this up in your class. As teachers, we know some of the students are going to do the work a little bit faster, some are going to need more time. That might help us determine whether we use a poll or a survey in the class. We tend to think of polling and surveying from other fields, not education, like poli sci or marketing or things like that. (DESCRIPTION) Examples: Swift; DirectPoll; PollEverywhere; SurveyMonkey; and Google Forms/Microsoft Forms. (SPEECH) So there are a number of tools that are out there. Fortunately for teachers, we are, we're very smart, we're very flexible. So we're able to kind of adjust these tools for use in our classroom or in our settings. So just some examples of polling and surveying tools, you already might be familiar with some of them. You can use forms again to create a poll or a survey. There's also Swift, Direct Poll, Poll Everywhere, Survey Monkey, Slido another one. So there are a lot of-- there are a lot of possibilities. You might just want to decide on one that gives you the most flexibility, for example. So let me-- (DESCRIPTION) Logo, Swift. (SPEECH) OK, so right now, we're going to practice with a tool called Swift. So as a teacher, you're going to want to create an account at this website, swift.excitem.com. (DESCRIPTION) Swift dot e x c I t e m dot com. (SPEECH) I don't know if that's the best website address, but anyway, that's-- they decided on that. swift.excitem.com. But anyway, in order to create your teacher account and then create some Swift polls or surveys, that's the address that you're going to use. So what I'd like to do now, is I'm going to stop sharing that and we're going to Swift poll. Oops. Let me close that. Let me shift over to my Swift polls. Let me share my screen again. So I just want to show you what this looks like from the teacher point of view. (DESCRIPTION) A Swift webpage: poll dot excite m dot com slash poll slash list. Six polling questions. (SPEECH) So what I've done is I've gone ahead and created a number of polling questions here. And when you create a poll question, you have a number of options in terms of how you want to administer it, the questions you want to ask. Do you want to ask a multiple choice question? Do you want to ask an open-ended question? So you have some options with this particular tool. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead and start the poll so you all can participate as students. (DESCRIPTION) Mr. Burik clicks on the Present button for the first question. A new page appears, stating the question and four multiple choice answers. On the left side of the screen, instructions on how to join the polling is provided. (SPEECH) And hopefully, you'll-- I think you're seeing this on your screen. So you should see the first question, which city was a previous capital of California? So I'm on a desktop view here-- or sorry, laptop view here. So on the left hand side, I see three different ways that I can connect to this poll. I can either text my vote to that phone number, that 916 number, I can hold-- where's my mobile device? I can hold my mobile phone up to the screen and I can scan that QR code, which is in the middle. Or I could go to that website, swiftpolling.com, and it gives you the option to add in the poll number, which is 24574. And it looks like already-- so this is a dynamic poll, so it looks like folks are already participating in the poll. So again, this is a great way-- so again, think about this from the teacher point of view. You've launched this poll. You've asked a question. I'll let you know what the correct answer is in a second here. But again, in the moment, we can be asking questions about the content that we're working on in the class. OK, so I'm going to pause this. I'm going to kind of close this poll. And I think what should happen on your screen is to-- you should see what the correct answer is. So the correct answer is San Jose. So it looks like about maybe almost half of the class got that answer correct. The other half didn't. So again, as a teacher, I'm in the moment. I'm like, OK, hold on a second. Only half of my students got this answer right. Is there something that I should do about this? Do I need to pause? Do I need to reteach? Do we need to cover that content again and then maybe launch the poll later and see how the students do it with a second go around? So that's that. Let me move on to the next question so you can continue. (DESCRIPTION) Next question: Name one word to describe your feeling right now. (SPEECH) There was a question in the chat, Susan, why not use a Zoom poll? So Zoom poll, in my estimation, is very limited. You basically can just ask, I think, a multiple choice question or I think you only have two question options. Oh, I think-- sorry, I think I need to turn this on too. OK. So you only have a couple of options. So when you start looking at some of these other tools, like Swift or Direct Poll or Slido or something like that, it gives you many more options in terms of the questions that you could include in your polling. And it looks like maybe there was a little bit of a lag, but I see I see the word, happy, to describe your feeling right now. (DESCRIPTION) As people respond, a word describing their feeling appears on the screen. (SPEECH) OK, so it looks like people are chiming in. So this is a word cloud question. So for those of you who are familiar with word clouds, basically, if a number of people are typing the same answer, then that word will actually get larger in size. So it's a way to kind of see-- maybe in a way, you could ask sort of a multiple choice question and see which answers or answers become the biggest answers. Maybe one of those answers is correct. Maybe another answer is not correct. So this might be another tool for you to-- or another way you can check with your students see how they're doing. OK, word cloud. Let's move on to the next question. This question is, what is one activity you do to stay healthy? Let me turn this on as well. This one, once we start to see some answers, yeah, basically what we're getting is sort of like a waterfall type thing. So the answers are going to come sort of in-- the answers will appear in the order that they're entered. (DESCRIPTION) Each answer appears in a box on the screen. (SPEECH) So here's some great ideas. One activity to stay healthy, walking, yoga, meditation, kickboxing, eating healthy foods, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. OK, great. Let's move on to the next one. So what I've done now, and I'm hoping it will work correctly, is I'm going to ask you another question and you're actually going to start a three-question survey. So then you should be able to answer the next three questions in your own order. Let me move to the next one. (DESCRIPTION) The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy ... Multiple choice answers: cat; dog; cow; pig. Each answer is accompanied by an image of the animal. (SPEECH) So you should be seeing this first question. Let me turn this on, I believe. I think I can-- OK, so you should be able to answer the next three questions on your own. So you have a multiple choice. And then I think you have a word cloud question again. And then I think you have a waterfall question. And Lois says we see the teacher's screen. So Lois, hopefully, you should be able to see the poll as it's being-- or what you should see now is the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy-- you have to answer one of the questions. I still see the last question. There may be a little bit of-- OK, there may be a little bit of a lag in what you're looking at, so-- Who ask the question, can I change the answer? So USO-- or I'm sorry, Eva, not sure. I think that, if I remember correctly, when I set up the poll, I think I only gave respondents the option to only answer once, and that was it. And that's your answer. So you should be able to adjust the settings on that to allow a retake or redo or something like that. So that's why you might choose one polling or surveying tool over another, is because you have a lot more flexibility in terms of how you can set up the questions. What are the options for the students when they're responding? Things like that. Karen said, I had to click on the yellow pull tab at the top to go to the next question. OK. Susan-- teacher would administer this live via Zoom? Yeah, so Susan, that's actually what we're doing right now. We're in a Zoom room, but I'm able to-- yeah, so basically what I'm doing is I'm bringing the pool into the Zoom session so that it's now visible on the screen. And as the students are working on their devices, we're showing the results in real time here. If that kind of conceptually helps out. Yeah, I agree with you too. I've recently discovered Swift, so I'm still kind of playing around with a little bit on that. I'm not totally 100% versed on Swift, but it seems to be pretty straightforward in terms of setting it up, so-- OK, so I'm going to-- let's see, let's go through the questions here. (DESCRIPTION) Responses have appeared next to the four answers. Cat, 4; dog, 7; cow, 3; pig, 1. (SPEECH) So the first question was, the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy-- and the correct answer is dog. So again, it's sort of 50%. It's like oh, OK, wait a minute. What happened? What happened with this content? So maybe I need to do something here in this moment, a little bit of reteaching. We can come back and try the question again. Let me go to the next question. What's your favorite day of the week? (DESCRIPTION) Three responses, with Saturday being the one most chosen. (SPEECH) OK, and yes, those of you who said Saturday, that is the correct answer. Good on you, but like I said-- no, Saturday's not the right answer. It's whatever day or whatever your favorite day of the week is. But yeah, you might use this though, however, see what your answers rise to the top, and then think about, OK, do I need to reteach or do something like that? Let's look at the last question here. When might you use a poll or a survey in your class? OK, good. So we're getting some answers. And as you can see, as the teacher, we have a scrollbar here on the side. I'm not sure what your view is exactly, if you have this scrollbar as well, but we can actually take a look at all the answers too by going up and down the scrollbar. (DESCRIPTION) Eleven answers so far to this question. (SPEECH) Again, this is another nice thing about polling and surveying, doing this kind of an activity in the class is, you'll notice that the answers are anonymous. And we know, depending on our students, sometimes students are hesitant to raise their hand or answer the question in front of a larger group. So I really like the-- and I'm sure a lot of you already know this too, but we really value that anonymity with these kinds of activities because we don't have to focus on any one student, but we can definitely do some error correction, things like that in the class in front of the entire class. I'm going to switch back to my slides here. So let's go back to the slides. Let me actually stop sharing here. Any questions about the polling or survey? Any questions about that? I usually say this in the beginning of a presentation. So at OTAN, we don't-- I like to think we're sort of tool-agnostic. We don't really say oh, this is the tool you should use, or whatever. I just want to give you Swift as an example for example of polling and surveying that you could do in your class. But really, it's up to you as the teacher to really decide what's the tool that you-- maybe what's the tool that you like or you really find it to be the most powerful tool to use. So we just want to kind of give you the idea about using a polling or surveying tool in your class. So let's move on to the next item here, using video to present and assess. So the idea here is that while students are watching a video, they can also be answering comprehension questions. So rather than having a student kind of watch a video from beginning to end and then answering the questions after the video, after they've finished watching the video, we're actually going to break up the video into segments and we're going to take a pause after certain segments of the video and ask a comprehension question. So that's kind of the basic concept. This is an activity that you could do in class. You could put this in your LMS for example, Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom, dot, dot, dot. There are a number of examples out there for programs. (DESCRIPTION) Examples: Ed puzzle; PlayPosit; TED-Ed; and ESL Video and i S L Collective for ESL students. (SPEECH) And this is also growing as well. I think a lot of folks have figured out that this is a really powerful tool that you can use in your class with students, because if you're already using video anyway, why not make it a more robust activity where you're really checking student comprehension along the way rather than waiting and then getting questions wrong and maybe not necessarily knowing what content I didn't understand or whatever? It's really being able to take that video tool, break it up into pieces, and then check comprehension as we're moving along through the video. And like I said, there are a number of programs that are out there and growing, Edpuzzle, PlayPosit, Ted-Ed. If you use Ted talks in your class, there is a teacher companion website, Ted-Ed. And in the Ted-Ed site, you can also use that to do some of these video activities that we're going to show in a second. ESL students in particular, a couple of good sites you might take a look at, ESL video and iSLCollective as well. So we're going to practice with a tool called Edpuzzle. (DESCRIPTION) Logo, Ed puzzle. (SPEECH) Again, as a teacher, you're going to start at edpuzzle.com. And one thing to know about Edpuzzle is, like many of the tools, many of the tools that you're learning about in TDLS, there's also an app as well. And sometimes that's the easiest way to have the students engage with the tool, is by downloading the app to their phone. With Edpuzzle, you can either work on your browser-- work in a browser or you can use the Edpuzzle app. One thing to know is that, typically, for the first time to use Edpuzzle, it's going to prompt you to do a download first. And with any of the tools that you're learning about, just be aware of what's the start up process for these tools. You wouldn't want to come into a class and spend valuable time in class making sure everybody has-- downloading the app or if they're having trouble or whatever. If it can be done ahead of time, we definitely would recommend that, so-- But anyway, just be aware with Edpuzzle that you may be prompted to-- if you're using your phone-- to download the app. (DESCRIPTION) Ed puzzle -- Open Class. Code is G A S I C K U. On the edpuzzle dot com website. (SPEECH) OK, so Edpuzzle. So what we're going to do is-- so I'm presenting a Edpuzzle option to you that shouldn't-- you shouldn't need to create an account, but I can't guarantee that it's not going to happen. So I've set up what's called an open class in Edpuzzle. So basically, that should allow a student to-- with a code, and the code is right here at the top, G-A-S-I-C-K-U. So with this code coming to the open class, all they have to do is put in the code, and then they should be able to participate in the activity. However, depending on your device, it may prompt you to actually download the app first and then you can join that way. But we're going to go to edpuzzle.com. Here's the address I've put here, edpuzzle.com. You're looking for that open class option. And then the code is G-A-S-I-C-K-U, GASICKU. I'm going to stop sharing my slides for a second. I'm going to go back to-- I'm going to go to the Edpuzzle. Give me a second here, navigating over here. Oh, I need to-- sorry-- share my screen. You're not seeing anything. (DESCRIPTION) At edpuzzle dot com slash discover. Links to Subjects, Grade levels, Country, and Source. On the left-side panel under Discover are three links: Edpuzzle Orieintals; My Content; and My School. Under My Classes are five links: Assessment, OTAN Classic, OTAN Tech, OTAN Trains U, and Archived. (SPEECH) OK, so again, as a teacher you're going to go to edpuzzle.com, you're going to go ahead and create your teacher account. And then once you are in Edpuzzle, basically, what you can do is, you can have classes, what they call classes in Edpuzzle. So this would be a way you could bring all your students into a class. And then as you're doing Edpuzzle activities, everybody kind of is-- all the activity is happening within the Edpuzzle class. So like I said, I've set up this open class, it's called TDLS Practice. And if you use that code, G-A-S-I-C-K-U, you should be able to navigate to the activity. (DESCRIPTION) On the TDLS Practice page are four buttons: Due Date, No Due Date, Pending to Grade, and Completed. (SPEECH) So what we're going to be looking at is a video on voting. So you will recall in the last election, there was quite a bit of controversy about voting and elections and things like that. Susan, you can go-- you can enter a nickname, you can put in your name, whatever you would like to do. If you just want to put S, that's fine. So as folks are joining the class, you're going to start the video and then you're going to-- the video is going to have a number of pauses. Let me give you a minute or so to get into the activity. SPEAKER 3: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 3. (SPEECH) Anthony, excuse me. I'm sorry. Can you please share that link in the chat? ANTHONY BURIK: Sure, I will definitely. SPEAKER 3: Thank you. ANTHONY BURIK: Yeah, no problem. OK so-- SPEAKER 2: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 2. (SPEECH) So to do this activity, do we just join as a student and then still have to sign up? I'm a little bit-- I zoned out for just a minute and missed one critical thing. ANTHONY BURIK: Sure. Sure, no problem. So in the chat, I put the link to edpuzzle.com. So you're going to first navigate to edpuzzle.com If you're on a laptop or desktop or on your phone, you can open up a browser-- edpuzzle.com. You're looking for the open class option. Open class and then-- so right, anybody can join an open class, whether it's the students in your class, whether it's a group of teachers here in the session. The code that you need is G-A-S-I-C-K-U. And then that should join the open class called TDLS-- can't remember what it's called. TDLS something TDLS practice or presentation. And then you should-- you're looking for-- I think you might see a couple of tabs across the top one of the tabs, has this video assignment. It's called, Understanding absentee voting, mail-in voting, and early voting. I'm not seeing the link for the open class. So let me do this. I'm not sure whether you can see this, but let me-- I'm going to go incognito here for a second. Let me stop sharing. Let me reshare and let's see if we can-- SPEAKER 2: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 2. (SPEECH) It's kind of smaller. It's on the top right-ish, yeah. ANTHONY BURIK: Yeah, right. So if you go to the Edpuzzle site, you're looking for this open class. (DESCRIPTION) Open class. A tab on the right side of the webpage, between Schools & Districts and Log in. (SPEECH) Click on the open class. I did. There we go. Then you should get a window or something that looks like this, open class. (DESCRIPTION) No account, no problem! Join an open class in just two clicks! A box titled Class code. (SPEECH) You put in that code, G-A-S-I-C-K-U. Find the class. (DESCRIPTION) Click Find Class button. (SPEECH) Here we go, it's called TDLS Practice. (DESCRIPTION) You found an open class! (SPEECH) You can put in a nickname or just your initials, whatever you would like. Join the open class. And then there's a video listed here. Yeah, go ahead. SPEAKER 3: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 3. (SPEECH) Sorry. So I ended up-- I signed out of my feature account in order-- because I just created the feature account, and I had to sign out. So thank you. ANTHONY BURIK: No problem, Elizabeth. You're very ambitious. I love it. OK, so then you're going to come to the video, click on the video. (DESCRIPTION) Click on the Open Class title. (SPEECH) And I think some of you are already in the video, but if you're not in the video just yet, you should-- so you'll see the video-- gosh, my Zoom stuff is in the way-- you'll see the video. And then across the bottom of the video, you'll see kind of like these teardrops or whatever. So these are the places in the video where I've set up those pauses. And you'll notice that, actually, the kinds of questions that I've asked is here on the right hand side. I'm asking a series of multiple choice questions. As a student proceeds for the video, when they get to those places, those stops in the video, the video is going to stop and then a question is going to come up. So hopefully, that's working for folks. Let me close this. Let's see if we're back on. Yes, we are. OK. And if I refresh my screen-- (DESCRIPTION) Return to the absentee, mail-in, and early voting screen. A listing of students' names and data. (SPEECH) OK. So as a teacher-- as you all are working on the video, I can see that a number of students now have are doing the activity. This is kind of the teacher side of it. I'm getting some basic information about how the activity is going. I'll stop talking here for a sec and let you continue with that. And meanwhile, I'll turn to the chat. Give me a second here. Susan, you were asking about ready-made stuff. Yes, there is a lot of ready-made stuff on the Edpuzzle. Yeah, so you don't necessarily need to start from scratch. And let me refresh so we can see where folks are here with the question-- that work so far. OK, so it looks like folks are watching the video, answering the questions. I'll give you another minute or so to finish that up. I can still check the chat. Let me see where folks are at the moment. (DESCRIPTION) A slider by each student's name denoting their video progress. (SPEECH) OK, so it looks like some folks are getting close to finishing up. Let's refresh one more time here, see how we're doing. OK, looks like folks are getting close. Let's give it me another 30 seconds or so. Susan, you asked of an option to slow down the video. I'm not sure that you can. Let's go back to the video for a second. Where am I here? Can I get back to the video? Yeah, Susan, I think in general, you may not have-- SPEAKER 2: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 2. (SPEECH) You can click on the video progress button and drag it back, but I don't see a slow down option either. But you can click on that and drag it back 5 seconds or 30 seconds. ANTHONY BURIK: Yeah. I do think-- Yeah, thanks. I think that when you're bringing the videos into the Edpuzzle platform, you may lose some of that functionality that you might otherwise get like on YouTube, for example, or maybe if it's in an LMS for example. There's kind of a structure to the video assignment here. But you're right, yeah, you can always drag it back to watch the segment of the video again if you would like. You can also pause the video too, so-- OK, let me do one more refresh. Let's just see where we are at the moment with completing. OK, it looks like a number of you have finished or are close to finish. That's great. So maybe what I'll do is, just in the interest of time, if we could just take a look and see what we're looking at here in terms of, as the teacher. So as I mentioned, I get kind of two views of what's going on with this assignment, with this activity. So I can see kind of individual students one by one, how those students are doing. And then kind of visually, I can see some students are getting through the assignment faster. Some students are need more time to complete the assignment. So on and so on. I can also see how the students are doing what the questions. So if a student is answering most of the questions correctly, if they're not doing so well, things like that. So that's at the student level. If I click over to this Questions tab, now I'm going to get kind of a view of what's going on with the entire class. (DESCRIPTION) The Questions tab, to the right of the Students tab. A listing of each multiple choice question with the correct or incorrect answer indicated by a checkmark or an X. (SPEECH) So there are five questions in the video. (DESCRIPTION) In the first question, the answers were 23 out of 29 right. (SPEECH) And I can kind of get a view of the results of those questions. So here, it looks like about-- what? About 75% or so of the students got this one correct. So that's good. This one, not as good. A little bit over half, so maybe about 60% or so got this one correct. This one, OK, another 75% or so got it correct. So that looks pretty good. That looks pretty good. Let's look at this last one, 15 out of 29. It's like, oh, hold on a sec. That's barely just over 50%. So again, as the teacher, you're in the moment. It's like, OK, what do I do with this information? Because this information is coming to you in real time. So as a teacher, you need to decide, OK, I'm at this point in the lesson. What do I need to do? I've identified this gap, this learning gap. How am I going to close this gap? What is it that I'm going to do so? Do I need to go back and reteach? Do I need to present the content in a different way? Maybe we need to do a different kind of activity. Maybe some of the students are better at reading, so if we did a reading activity, for example-- well, we'll actually watch a video, but if you-- maybe the video-- ESL students were having trouble understanding the video, so maybe we need to do a reading. Maybe that will help close the gap. So again, as the teacher, we want to think about, always be thinking about how do we address these gaps as they're coming up in the middle of the class? Can the teacher-- I'm just looking at my chat here. Lois-- can the teacher show the video and stop it for each question? Yes. Yes, there is an option if you do this live mode option, Lois. (DESCRIPTION) Click the Live Mode button under the video title. (SPEECH) So you can actually show the video and the students answer in real time on their own devices. So yes, there is that option as well as the teacher-- for the teacher to do it live in the class as a group. Other questions about the Edpuzzle? Otherwise, we'll-- and like I said, this is-- I've really noticed of all these-- of all these kind of formative assessment tools that you might use in the class, that this video option has kind of really started to take off. And we're seeing it actually as an option in a number of different tools, like Canvas, for example, has that Canvas Studio. Some of you know about Canvas Studio. That basically allows you to do something very similar. But again, it's getting to be more and more popular as an activity to do in their class. Has this-- if the students have joined the class on their phones. So Elizabeth, I think you can do the activity on your phone as well. So you definitely want to try it out first. Actually, what I would do is, as a teacher, once you set up some assignments, do a practice run through the assignments but have your desktop or laptop and a phone kind of side by side, or tablet or whatever, and do the activity like as a student and see how it's showing up in both locations. Students can do the activities on their phones. Yeah, some of the students don't have laptops. Exactly, right. (DESCRIPTION) Return to the Edpuzzle -- Open Class main page. (SPEECH) All right, so let's move on to the next one. (DESCRIPTION) Using Slides to Present and Assess. (SPEECH) OK, so the next tool that we're going to talk about here or the next option that we're going to talk about here is using slides to present and assess. (DESCRIPTION) Examples: PollEverywhere, Mentimeter, Pear Deck, and Nearpod. (SPEECH) So it's a similar concept to the video activity that we just did. Rather than kind of watching the video from start to finish and then asking the questions, we're doing something different. Same here with the slides. Rather than presenting all of your slides and then doing an activity or asking questions after your entire presentation, you're going to do-- you're going to take pauses during your presentation to ask those comprehension questions, kind of see where students are as you're proceeding through teaching your content. Some of the tools that you might consider here, Poll Everywhere, Mentimeter, Pear Deck, Nearpod. There are other tools as well. My assumption is you are using something like PowerPoint slides or Google Slides. Not every teacher does that in terms of presenting content, but if you are, or maybe this would be a prompt for you to start doing so because then you are able to get this kind of new way of presenting and assessing simultaneously with your students. (DESCRIPTION) Logo, Poll Everywhere. (SPEECH) So the tool we're going to practice with is called Poll Everywhere. So as a teacher, you're going to create an account at polleverywhere.com. You can create a free-- excuse me. You can create a free account at polleverywhere.com. Just be aware that one of the limitations of the free account is that you can only have up to 40 students participate at any one time, or 40 individuals participate at any one time. So I'm not sure how big your class is or anything like that. 40 should be enough. At the start of COVID, Poll Everywhere actually bumped it up from 25 to 40 because it realized a lot of teachers were using Poll Everywhere and they had larger classes. So 40 should be adequate in most cases, but just kind of be aware of that limitation. (DESCRIPTION) How to Join. Web or Text. (SPEECH) So with the Poll Everywhere-- we're going to do a Poll Everywhere activity here. So I mentioned that if you're the teacher creating the account, your teacher account, you're going to start at polleverywhere.com. If you're a student or on a desktop or laptop, to participate, you need to go to PollEv.com PollEv.com And then it's going to ask for a code. The code is ANTHONYB-- for Burik-- 912. Again, ANTHONYB912. You would use that same code if you want to use your phone or tablet. You can actually text the code, ANTHONYB912 to 37607. So there are a couple of different ways to join. And so what I'm going to do is, I'm going to go to the next slide. (DESCRIPTION) You can assign students to a Zoom breakout room in all of the following ways except: Automatically, A ; -- Electronically, B; Manually, C. (SPEECH) So basically, we're going to do a couple of questions in the middle of my slide presentation. So I believe I need to actually start the-- one second. Let me do this. I actually need to start the Poll Everywhere activity. Just give me one second. So I think it's actually-- I believe that is-- yes, people are seeing it. So let me go back to my slides. It might take a second for it to show up on the screen here. I saw that people were participating in the poll. Let me go-- do I need to-- one second here. Oh. Let me see here. Yeah, it is active. So what should be happening is, it should be-- gosh, why is it not working? So the results should be showing up on the slide, and for some reason, they are not. And I don't know why. So let me show you otherwise what's happening. So this is in my teacher account. So you'll see that for this question, it's a multiple choice. You can assign students to a Zoom breakout room in all the following ways except for-- so the correct answer here is electronically. So there's that. Let's go on to the next question. Oops, Zoom again is in the way. OK, let's go to the next question. So the next question is another multiple choice. (DESCRIPTION) What is the name of the Zoom button to invite the teacher to the breakout room? Join This Room. Invite the Host. Ask for Help. (SPEECH) Let me go back to my slides and see if it's showing up. And I think-- I'm not sure why it's not showing up. So sorry about that. It should be working and it's not. And that's not very good. Let me just see-- yeah, oh, good. Paulina, thank you. Yes, this is a poll. Yes, good, we're learning something. So we're going through these questions one by one. So we all have to proceed at the same pace. Thank you, Paulina. That's unfortunate. Why is it not showing up? I thought I had it answered correctly. I think I-- there must be-- let me see. PowerPoint slides. OK, for some reason, I don't know why it's not working. Always test things out before you use them in the class. I'm sure that-- oh, I have not activated it. Let's try. Maybe that's the reason. OK, so now you should see the question. There we go. (DESCRIPTION) Responses are appearing: three for Ask for Help and one for Invite the Host. (SPEECH) We're getting some responses now. OK, good. So the question here is, what is the name of the Zoom button to invite the teacher to the breakout room? OK, and the correct answer-- let me give a few more folks the opportunity to answer. Let me see if this is showing up in the PowerPoint or not. Why is it not showing up? I thought I had this set up correctly. Well, the poll-- yeah, the results that we are seeing here should be showing up in our PowerPoint slides. I've done this before and it's worked out fine. And for some reason, it's not working out now. So I don't know why it's not working out now. Anyway, so when it works correctly, the results will show up in your slides. So you actually don't need to go somewhere else. Your answers are going to show up in the slides itself. So that way, you can get the results from the students in real time. Let's just see how things are going over here. OK, so actually for this question, the correct answer is, ask for help. (DESCRIPTION) Total responses: Join This Room, 2; Invite the Host, 3; Ask for Help, 7. (SPEECH) So looks like more than half of the students got that one correct. Fantastic. Again, as a teacher, you have to think about, OK, what am I going to do with these five students? Am I OK to move on? Do I need to do something in the moment? So again, these are the decisions that you're making as a teacher. Let's do one more. Oops. Let's do one more. This should be a-- I believe this is going to be one of the open-ended questions, so we're to get the answers-- wait, do I want this question? Oh, actually, I do not want this question. Let me go to the next question. Sorry, I cut you off if you were midstream there. One word, what is your first impression of assessing while presenting? Well, my first impression is it didn't work right. So as a teacher, you want to make sure-- you want to make sure that you have the activity set up correctly. Again, I apologize. It's worked before. I'm not quite sure what I did wrong this time to not get it to work correctly, but-- so the question is, how do you get the poll into the Google Slides? (DESCRIPTION) Responses are appearing on the screen under the question: confusion; complicated; efficient; helpful; takes time. (SPEECH) And Karen is asking-- no, Karen, I actually have a download-- I have the PowerPoint actually downloaded to my machine. I'm just running the PowerPoint from my machine. I'm not on the web or anything. So that's typically how I do it. When you go to the Poll Everywhere site, they have a really good help center for how you get started with, if you're using Google Slides or if you're using PowerPoint, how to set it up so that you're going to be able to actually incorporate or embed the Poll Everywhere activity into your slides. I think you do have to do some downloading of apps, I believe, or maybe load it-- if you're in Google, you're loading it as a Chrome extension, I think. So you have to do a little-- bit of legwork in the beginning. And then you definitely want to test it out. I should have tested it again. I'm not quite sure why it didn't work, but anyway-- OK, so that's the basic idea here. Let me go back to this. And that was unfortunate. But again, with both the video Edpuzzle activity that we did and then the slides activity as well, again, just remember the concept. The concept is rather than going from start to finish through some sort of a presentation, you're actually pausing along the way and you're asking comprehension questions along the way to check see if there are learning gaps, check for understanding. And then in the moment, if there's something that you can do or should be doing to address those gaps, then you know, as a teacher, now you have the information. Now you know, OK, wait, I need to pause here, try something different before we move on. All right, so the next item that I want to talk about here is what I'm calling classic formative assessment tools. (DESCRIPTION) Examples: Kahoot! Quizlet. Quizizz. Formative. Secretive. (SPEECH) So as I mentioned at the beginning, I think a lot of people, in the last couple of years, have gotten to know these tools, one or more of these tools. Kahoot! I think is very popular. I think a lot of people know about Kahoot! You're probably using it as a teacher. There's also Quizlet, Quizizz, Formative, Socratic. There are many others. This seems to be kind of a popular way for teachers to do formative assessment in their class. And again, lots of options that are out there. Typically, it tends to be the tool that a lot of-- people gravitate to one tool or another. And that's the one that they use in their class. But they all kind of do very similar things. One suggestion I have for teachers is, a lot of us have our own individual Kahoot! Accounts or individual Quizlet accounts. But what about if we were to get kind of-- what about if we were to create a department account or maybe even a school account, depending on the size of your school? And so what we're doing is we're actually investing-- we're probably going to have to subscribe, pay for a subscription for a school account. But in that way-- so rather than everybody in their own classroom just building their own Kahoot! quizzes individually, what if there were kind of a central repository where you all were putting your work into the repository so that then, as a teacher, now, I have a lot of different options, not just the couple of quizzes that I've created? But actually, now I have a bunch of them from my colleagues back at the school. And then I noticed in the very beginning, people were wondering about common formative assessments, for example. So what if a bunch of teachers were actually doing, administering the same Kahoot! quizzes or the same Quizizz quizzes in their classes? And then you got together as a group and you started kind of looking at that data that you're getting back from the quiz results, looking at that as a department or as a school, thinking about, OK, where are some of the learning gaps, kind of the larger learning gaps in our ESL student body or high school students or whatever? So just think about the kind of collective power of some of these tools rather than just kind of doing your own thing in your own classroom. We all spend money on textbooks and things like that. And maybe we might consider actually spending some of that book money on subscriptions in some of these tools, and then thinking about them in a much larger way rather than just sort of individual teachers using them. (DESCRIPTION) Logo, Quizizz. (SPEECH) So not a lot of folks know about Quizizz, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to do a Quizizz activity. So as a teacher, you're going to get started at quizizz.com. And I always spell quizizz wrong because there's like way more Z's than I'm used to. And I'm not always sure where all the Z's go, but it's Q-U-I-Z-- quiz-- and then I-Z-Z. So quizizz.com. Learners can play at quizizz.com/join or you can go to the quizizz app. Kahoot! And Quizlet and Quizizz, they all have the apps as well. And a lot of students are able to use-- do the activities on their phone, for example, in the app. Another thing about these tools as well is, this might be a really great opportunity for your students to actually create their own quizzes. And so rather than you as the teacher kind of always having to create everything, what if the students were actually doing this as a kind of assessment? So they're the ones kind of coming up with the questions. You could also make sure if they're putting in the correct answers with those questions. So it's kind of another way to kind of get an assessment of how your students are doing with the content. So a suggestion. Oh, OK. So let me stop share. We're going to go to Quizizz. We're going to do a Quizizz activity. Give me a second to navigate there. Let me share my screen. (DESCRIPTION) At the quizizz dot com slash admin webpage. What will you teach today? (SPEECH) So as I mentioned, as a teacher, you're going to get started at quizizz.com-- Q-U-I-Z-I-Z-Z-- dot com. Go ahead and set up your teacher account. And then once you're in Quizizz, you can then get started with creating Quizizz activities or I guess, creating quizzes. I did want to point out, there was a question-- somebody asked a question back when we were working with the Edpuzzle. Is there kind of an Edpuzzle library that I can draw from? So rather than me having to start everything from scratch. So the answer with Edpuzzle is, yes. The answer is also, yes with Quizizz as well. And I think those of you who also use Kahoot! and Quizlet, you know that there's actually a much larger Kahoot! library, a much larger Quizlet library that you can actually make copies, of bring them into your account, and then you can adjust them as needed for your students and for your classes. So we have something similar in Quizizz as well. When you go to this Explore, you can take a look and see lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of quizzes that you can bring into your own account and adjust them for your students. So we are going to-- where am I here? (DESCRIPTION) On the left-side panel are seven links: Explore; My library; My organization; Reports; Classes; Settings; More. (SPEECH) I'm going to go to My Library. So My Library is basically kind of my workspace where I'm creating my quizzes, bringing in copies of quizzes from other locations. And we are going to do-- let me see here, I have to remember which one. We're going to do the Soft Skills Synch quiz, I believe. Yes, this is correct. OK, so what I'm going to do is, I'm going to go ahead and start a live quiz. (DESCRIPTION) On the Soft Skills Synch page, click on Start a live quiz. (SPEECH) And sorry, I my Zoom is in the way here. We'll do a classic one, so we'll go ahead and continue. So on the screen-- it's taking a second to load. OK, so on the screen, we have some instructions for how to participate as a student. (DESCRIPTION) To play this quiz box: 1. Use any device to open. 2. Enter join code. (SPEECH) So on my laptop here on the left hand side, you can go to joinmyquiz.com. And then once you are at joinmyquiz.com or if you have the Quizizz app on your phone already, then the code that you need is 320147. 320147. Yes, let me copy the link, Paulina, one second. Oops, that is not the right one. OK, that should be the link. Let me put in the code again. 320147 is the code to join our activity. OK, so, so far, it looks like about nine students have joined so far. I believe it gives you the option to put in your name or type in a nickname, something like that. Let me give you all a couple of seconds to join because we want a bunch of folks to participate in the activity. Let me just check the chat again, see if there are any questions. Yeah, Paulina, although I did that, and it didn't quite come out right. Let me try it again. Let me see if that works. I got kind of a strange code. Maybe I did it the wrong way. Yeah, I'm getting kind of a weird code. SPEAKER 4: (DESCRIPTION) Speaker 4. (SPEECH) Anthony, it's the little link kind of symbol underneath Or Share Via, the very first symbol on the left. If you click on that, that should work. ANTHONY BURIK: Oh, I see what you're talking about. OK, thank you. Thank you. I did not see that. I saw this here. OK, let's see what comes up in this case. OK, there we go. Thank you. SPEAKER 4: In my experience, it's the easiest way to share the link because it takes them right to that game you're playing right now. ANTHONY BURIK: Yeah, exactly. Thank you. Yeah, and it also-- it has the join code, the code embedded right in the link as well. So it should take you right there. Thank you. Thank you for the suggestion. So it looks like we got about 18 or so, so let's get started. (DESCRIPTION) Click the Start button. (SPEECH) I believe when I turn this on, some annoying music is going to come on, so I will make sure that that's turned off. (DESCRIPTION) A countdown on screen ensues, with an illustration of a moonlit sky over an ocean in the background. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Go! (SPEECH) Or maybe only I'm getting the annoying music. (DESCRIPTION) The Leaderboard, listing the participants and their points, appears on screen. (SPEECH) All right. Oh, and if you could, get a question wrong, get a couple of questions wrong because I want you to see what happens in the Quizizz activity when you get a question wrong. I know you're very smart, but if you can get a question wrong, because I want you to-- I want you to see what that looks like for the students. (DESCRIPTION) The bars in each student's row tracking the responses begin to fill. (SPEECH) I know some of you are super competitive like me and like, I am not going to get anything wrong. So Elizabeth, your question, student needs to be in my Zoom class using a computer or tablet if they want to use Quizizz on their phone? So that's a good question. I mean, yes. I think the answer is yes. But one thing about Quizizz is that you actually can embed Quizizz activities in your LMS. And your students could do them asynchronously. They could do them for homework, for example. So there is actually an asynchronous option with Quizizz. And I think that actually Kahoot! also figured this out early on in COVID where it used to be that you had to be in the class and doing it all together as a group. But then they came up with, I think, they call it their homework option or something like that. So actually, students could be doing the activity outside of the class, if that's your question. You can also put a time limit on it, like, between Monday, Monday 8:00 AM and Tuesday 4:00 PM is when you can do the quiz or do the activities. As a teacher, again, we're getting the answers, we're getting the results in here in real time. And we can see as we scroll towards the bottom-- OK, so most students are finished. We have a few students who are kind of still answering a couple of questions. So again, I'll just say, as the students are finishing, think back to one of the first things that I said was, basically, you're either doing a poll or you're doing a survey. That's what you're doing in the class. So you want to think about how do you set this up-- how do you set up this activity in your lesson. And so if you do a poll, you know that some of the students are going to-- you're going to go as a group through the questions. Some are going to be faster, some are going to be slower, so some students might be frustrated on either end. As if you do a survey, like this is basically a survey because everybody is working at their own pace, so again, some students are going to finish faster, some are going to take more time. So what do you do with those students who finish faster? Do you turn them on to another activity? Do you do sort of maybe like a bonus activity or something like that, whatever? So again, these are the decisions-- you're making these decisions every day as a teacher in the classroom, how you're going to be administering these activities. OK, it looks like we're almost all finished, so I'm going to go ahead and end the activity here. I do want to end the quiz. And so we can do our congratulations for Alexis in third, Paulina in second. Tomato, you did it. You are number one. (DESCRIPTION) Cards appear on screen listing the winners and participants. (SPEECH) And then mastery party as well. So good, we got a lot of-- so the mastery-- so again, hopefully, some of you saw that as a student, when you were going through the questions, if you got a question incorrect, it gave you an opportunity towards the end to redo one of the questions. So that's kind of a nice little feature of the Quizizz activity. (DESCRIPTION) Quiz Highlights. Class Accuracy; Toughest Question; Longest Question; Interesting Facts. (SPEECH) And so with another chance, some of the students actually might do better. (DESCRIPTION) A list of the Participant's Names, their scores, and columns of questions 1 through 5 with a checkmark or X denoting whether or not they answered the question. (SPEECH) Well, hopefully, they do better. That's the idea, I guess. Again, we're getting some results in that, as a teacher, we want to take a quick look at this and see if there's anything we need to do about it. So we get kind of this cumulative up here at the top. So for the five questions, this is how our students did. They did best on question two, and not so good on questions 4 and 5. So again, like I've said before, this is the moment where, as the teacher, it's like, OK, what do I do with this information? I probably want to zero in on those last two questions in some way, whether it's kind of just going back to the questions, checking for comprehension, maybe students almost got the concept but not quite, or maybe there were two-- there were two really close answers and they couldn't decide if it was this answer or that answer. You all know how it goes. But again, as a teacher, you have to think about, OK, what am I going to do with this information? How am I going to kind of wrap up this activity? And if there are still those learning gaps, how am I going to close those gaps? Any questions? Just kind of looking at where we're at in the chat here. OK, good. All right, so I'm going to go ahead and exit from here. And let me switch back to the slides. We're almost done here. We've got about 10 minutes or so left. Oops. Stop the share. There we go. (DESCRIPTION) Logo, Quizizz. (SPEECH) All right, so that is-- oops. There we go. That's the Quizizz activity. OK, so the last thing I want to talk about before we finish up is kind of going back to what we started with. So we had the entrance ticket at the beginning of the class. But another tool that you might consider is an exit ticket. (DESCRIPTION) Exit Ticket (or Entrance Ticket?). We use an exit ticket at the end of class to identify what students have learned (and not learned) and assess the results for next steps. Create -- Collect -- Clarify. (the teacher tool kit dot com.) An entrance ticket would be a similar tool at the start of class, although you wouldn't have a lot of time to analyze the results. (SPEECH) Actually, in the scheme of things, exit tickets preceded entrance tickets. So exit tickets have actually been around for a little bit longer, but then some people said, Oh, well, why can't we just do something similar at the beginning of the class as well? And thus, was born the entrance ticket. But basically, we use an exit ticket at the end of class, again, to-- now we're thinking about the entirety of the class, the entirety of the lesson. We use that exit ticket to still-- what are still the learning gaps that are out there with my students? But the idea here is that the students are completing an exit ticket. Again, it's not a lengthy activity, like, you're not asking like 10 questions in an exit ticket. You're really only asking maybe one, maybe two questions. So you really have to think about how you're going to set those questions up. What is sort of the essence of the class, the essence of the lesson that I need to do a check on so that I can get ready for the next class? And if I need to do something about learning gaps, misconceptions that are still out there? I kind of like this model of an exit ticket where you're creating the exit ticket, you're collecting the information, you're collecting the results back from students. And then this information really helps you, as the teacher, clarify, what are my next steps in terms of what is it that I might need to be doing? If everything is good, like if students don't have any questions, like if you've taught the 100% perfect lesson, then the clarity is that you're good. You don't need to worry. You can move on with certainty to the next piece of content. But hopefully, the results give you some clarity in terms of, OK, if there are still gaps, what are those gaps? When we come back for the next class? And we start the class, we do an opening activity. Maybe we're going back and reviewing some piece of the content that we've been going over where you think there might still be some trouble. So (DESCRIPTION) Exit Ticket -- Some Possibilities -- 1. Check student understanding; or Emphasize the essential question / topic / grammar / point, etc. Question: What would be a good question to ask in the exit ticket from today's webinar? (SPEECH) in terms of exit tickets, you have a lot of possibilities in terms of how to structure an exit ticket, checking for student understanding or maybe emphasizing the essential question or the essential topic, the essential grammar point, whatever. So for me, what would be a good question to ask? So definitely, I want you all to know the difference between a poll and a survey. So maybe in my exit ticket for today, that's the one exit ticket question I'm asking you, tell me the difference between a poll and a survey. And that should give you enough clarity to know that people really understand what the difference is. And if they don't, it should come out in the results, and then that's what we focus on when we start the next class. (DESCRIPTION) Some Possibilities -- 2. (SPEECH) Another possibility is that you could have the students ask questions that they still have. So you've covered a lot of content in the class. Maybe, for some students, it's their first time looking at this content. So what are what are some of the questions that students still have about this content that they didn't quite understand or they're still confused about or whatever? (DESCRIPTION) Some Possibilities -- 3. (SPEECH) Another possibility is to maybe give students the chance to apply the content in a new way or maybe have students solve a problem or answer a question. So again, just think about this in terms of the timing. You don't want this exit ticket to be too involved. So imagine somebody is opening the door and they're getting the exit ticket, kind of their final evaluation or whatever. They're filling it out, handing it back to you and they are out the door. So this is not like a 15 minute activity. This is really-- it needs to happen very quickly, very efficiently. But again, you have to be very strategic in the questions that you're asking in your exit ticket. So (DESCRIPTION) Let's End with an Exit Ticket. bit dot l y slash TDLS 22 exit. (Note: It's case sensitive!) (SPEECH) I do have an exit ticket set up. Where am I here? Let me go back to the chat for a second. I will make a copy of that. I'm going to pop that in the chat, that link. So if you want to navigate over to that exit ticket, I did put the link in the chat. If you want to just type it, again, remember what the bit.ly address is? Bit.ly slash. Whatever comes after the slash an exit ticket-- sorry, with an exit ticket. Whatever comes after the slash with a bit.ly is case sensitive, so you have to type it exactly as you see it. So capital TDLS number 22 lowercase exit, no spaces, all one word, dot, dot, dot. Let me see if folks are filling that out. Give me a second. I appreciate all of your patience as well, my stumbling through presenting and hosting duties simultaneously here. Where am I? Let me go back to Forms. I got a little bit of a lag, so I'm trying to bring it up. Give me one second here. Entrance ticket. Exit ticket. It looks like we got about half dozen responses or so to start. OK, let me share that screen. (DESCRIPTION) TDLS 2022 -- Exit Ticket. Question 1. What is one formative assessment tool that you will use with your students, and why/how? Enter your answer in the box. (SPEECH) OK, again, for those of you, if you weren't here at the beginning, so for the-- my entrance ticket and my exit ticket, I'm actually using a Microsoft form. Those of you who are more Google folks, Microsoft form is very similar to a Google form. Again, I just want to point out one nice feature with the Microsoft form, is there is this tool called Microsoft Immersive Reader. So basically, the Immersive Reader will read the text to-- it will read it out loud for the student or for whoever is in the session or whatever. So they'll be able to read the text as well as hear it. So again, especially for ESL students, but also maybe some ABE students, this might be a good tool for you to consider. Immersive Reader actually shows up in a number of different Microsoft apps. So like, Microsoft Word, for example, does have-- newer versions of Word have the Immersive Reader built into it as well. Colleen, I saw your question. I will put the link to the My Materials again in the chat. Give me one second. I just put that in the chat. So that folder has both my slides and my notes document. It's about a four pager or so. Let me just go back and see what's going on. So we've got about 13 responses. (DESCRIPTION) Responses include: thanks; great tool; try that soon; video & assess; platform accessibility; ESL students tool; review activities; comprehension of activities. (SPEECH) OK, good. So again, I'm the teacher, I've finished my class. I'm going to go back and take a look and see what my students were answering, how they answered that question, what is one tool that you will use with your students and why? Yeah, this is good information. (DESCRIPTION) 13 responses. A listing of names of all participants and their responses. (SPEECH) So maybe Quizizz, maybe Edpuzzle. Good, good, good. Exit tickets, Swift. OK, good. Yeah, really, I know-- so the title of my presentation, a quick look at formative assessment. So we definitely looked at a lot of things very quickly, but really, I'm hoping that-- I'm hoping that maybe one or two tools really stood out for you, and you feel like, yeah, I want to-- I think I want to use-- I want to start using exit tickets for my lessons, for example. Or I want to do something-- I'm already using video in the class, so maybe I want to try now to see if I could do like an Edpuzzle activity so that we can make-- we can kind of structure those video lessons a little bit differently. Let me go back to, actually, my slides. Sorry, I'm trying to do a couple of things here. So we have a couple of minutes left. I do want to put a link to the evaluation form for this session. I just put that in the chat. So again, if you could take a couple of minutes just to fill that out, that would be great. I'd appreciate it. In the meanwhile, I just have, I think, a couple final slides here. 3-2-1 Reflection Tool, (DESCRIPTION) Reflect on: 3 things you learned today. 2 things you will share. 1 thing you will try. And please complete the evaluation for the session! (SPEECH) I always like people, at the end of a presentation, to just think about-- we really did do a quick look at a lot of different things today, so I always like people to kind of reflect on their learning. So three things that you learned today, hopefully you learned at least three things. Two things that you will share, so what are a couple of these tools maybe you want to share back at your agencies with your other teachers or with your administrator? And then definitely one thing that you'll try. So hopefully, like I said, there was a tool that stood out for you today. You're like, yeah, I think I can use that in class. I feel pretty good about it. I feel like I can get that set up with my students. (DESCRIPTION) OTAN. -- Outreach and Technical Assistance Network. Follow Us.

And as I mentioned, formative assessment really is such a powerful tool. Any and every way that we can make use of formative assessment, I think, is going to make us a better teacher. It's really going to help the students with their learning. It's going to help them be more productive with their learning. So yeah. (DESCRIPTION) OTAN Online.
