- 2 Truths & 1 Lie
- Question #1: How can educators provide opportunities for "student voice"?
- Voice is different from Choice - find a way to hear their voice and/or share their opinions
- PearDeck - PearDeck.com
- Mike’s 3 questions:
- What helped your learning?
- What didn’t help your learning?
- What’s something you’ve seen or done elsewhere that could benefit your learning here?
- Answers are attached to students, which informs the teacher. The teacher knows the name, but on the screen they are anonymous.
- Formative Assessment that can guide instruction, Feedback
- PearDeck Question Types - Multiple Choice, Text Response, Numerical Answer (appears on a number line), Drawing Slide (on blank or on image), Draggable Slides - help.peardeck.com/the-five-interactive-question-types
- Premium Version adds on Teacher Dashboard, ability to see names attached to responses in realtime (free can see it after the session), increased draggable & drawing slide functionality. More free vs. premium details here - peardeck.com/pricing
- Mike uses PearDeck for his quizzes in order to make them “assessment FOR learning”
- Make sure that students see their responses used in some way.
- Mike’s 3 questions:
- PearDeck vs. NearPod vs. The Answer Pad vs. ClassKick vs. Formative
- Flipgrid - flipgrid.com
- Question #2: How can learners create a profile of themselves as a learner to share with an audience beyond the classroom?
