This week we did a summative assessment on the motion of the Sun/Earth/Moon system. After completing some discovery activities, I created a Google Slide and put it in Google Classroom where students then had to move certain icons to show where the Sun, Earth, and Moon would be for particular situations. The drawing can be seen here: https://goo.gl/Sng8uy.
I then used Doctopus to upload the assignment to a Google Spreadsheet where I could then use Goobric to assess, letting students know which models they had incorrect by marking "Not the correct order" and using the microphone to give oral feedback. I was also able to score students on a rubric scale in regards to their explanation and for their ability to create the models: https://goo.gl/J70JKJ. The program then e-mailed students the assessment, rubric, and voice comments.
What I liked about this:
1. This assessment gave all students the opportunity to demonstrate their learning, not just the ones who read and write well.
2. Technology enhanced the amount of feedback and quality of feedback; the interval between my evaluation and students receiving the feedback was shortened.
3. Using voice was interesting. I wonder what the students will think of that.
4. The technology served a functional purpose for both the students and me.
5. And most importantly, I can truly see what the students know.
What I didn't like about this:
1. Evaluating one class took an hour and a half. And I have four more classes to go.
2. There are students who didn't do well on the assessment; what now?
3. The technology was slow at times, the program automatically creates an MP3 of the voice recording, and that could be wasted time.
4. I do not know if this is too much or too little.
Onward.
