Online Teaching Reflections
Not much to say today. I spent most of the day struggling with how to assess my students during this time. I hate assessment and I'm not good at it. Perhaps this is a moment to improve?
So far the plan is to award 5 "points" for each day for the daily lessons as monitored by Google Form submission. 1 point fo the "Check In" 2 pts for the "Lesson" and 1 pt for the "Check Out". Participation only. Purely formative.
On the last day of the week assign a summative "quiz". I plan on the using the built in quizzing feature in Google Forms for consistency (again, keeping the Extraneous Cognitive Load low), and also allowing for ease of open ended video response questions if needed, etc.
This is in replace of the built-in quizzing feature that our school's LMS provides. Again, my goal is, and always will be, to stay consistent with tools. Apologies for the lame post. More soon...
