Feedback on Student Writing

Providing timely and effective feedback on student work is a critical component to any classroom. As students increasingly operate and create in a digital environment, emerging tools provide unique new opportunities for teachers to provide feedback on both written work and video projects.

Feedback on Written Work

With the increased adoption of Google Apps for Education, student writing often occurs within Google Docs. While teachers can provide feedback in the form of typed comments, media-rich options exist. By incorporating audio and video feedback, teachers have even more opportunities to connect with their students as they can choose the modality to best support their learning preferences.

If students are in a 1:1 iPad classroom, and are using Google Drive to create and share writing assignments, along with the capacity to insert text comments into the body of the paper or in the margins, classroom teachers can use a combination of Google Drive and Explain Everything to provide video and audio feedback. The process allows a teacher to export a student writing assignment directly from Google Drive to Explain Everything.

Once in Explain Everything, the teacher can press record, ink on the document (which imports as a PDF), and even insert front facing video while providing feedback. In order to give the student access to the video feedback, the Explain Everything Project (XPL file) or video file can be uploaded directly back to Google Drive and placed into a student folder. It is important to recognize that XPL project files will upload quickly to Drive, but students then need Explain Everything to view the feedback. Meanwhile, a video file will take some time to export and upload, but once in Google Drive, students can watch the video feedback on any device.

Feedback in Flipped Classrooms

Why Feedback Needs To Be Integrated Into Flipped Classrooms

By David Matheson

Flipped classrooms are getting plenty of headlines and attention lately in educational circles. While conceptually they sound great the reality is that they require a great deal more effort on behalf of both students and teachers. The need for teachers to develop quality material outside class time is a genuine drain on their limited time and becomes a significant obstacle to the uptake of flipping.

In a seemingly unrelated topic research is making an ever stronger case that effective feedback in a clear and timely manner has a significant influence of the achievement of student outcomes. This is especially the case for students facing high stakes examinations toward the end of their school experience. Summative evaluation through examinations is far from a new idea nor is returning papers and suggested answers. However, the merging of flipped classrooms and examination feedback may shed new insights and opportunities.

The following footage comes from a recent feedback session to 17 year old boys regarding their examination. The footage was taken from a notebook computer’s webcam and was simply recording in the background as the machine was used to project the feedback presentation. This clip is obviously a segment of a larger lesson.

Things To Remember About Classroom Feedback

By Katie Lepi

Feedback is an inevitable part of teaching. Naturally, you’re in a position where you’re giving a whole lot of feedback, but you’re likely on the receiving end of feedback as well. We’ve all been on the receiving end of feedback in various aspects of our lives, and I’m sure we’ve all experienced some feedback that was less than desirable – for a variety of reasons. Even if the feedback itself is inherently negative, the delivery and process of the feedback doesn’t have to be. 

The handy infographic below (from ASCD) offers 7 important things to remember about feedback. These are important items to remember both when you’re giving and getting feedback. Keep reading to learn more.

7 Things To Remember About Classroom Feedback

• Feedback is not advice, praise or evaluation. Feedback is information about how we are doing in our efforts to reach a goal.
• If students know the classroom is a safe place to make mistakes, they are more likely to use feedback for learning.
• The feedback students give teachers can be more powerful than the feedback teachers give students.
• When we give a grade as a part of feedback, students often don’t see past the grade.
• Effective feedback occurs during the learning, when there is still time to act on it.
• Most of the feedback that students receive about their classroom work is from other students – and most of that feedback is wrong.
• Students need to know their learning target – the specific skill they’re supposed to learn – or else feedback is just someone telling them what to do.
