WHY?
“Feedback functions formatively only if
the information fed back to the learner is
used by the learner in improving
performance.”

Capturing Data from
studentsData Capture
Video / Picture capture
• Record evidence… Can
now annotate videos /
mark etc
• Auto dated & located via
Google Photos
Google Forms is your best
friend!
Google forms will capture most types of data,
mark it for you and even issue badges and
certificates…
Simply copy the form from one lesson to the
next...
Turnaround Time
Share Rubrics / Answer Keys…
Low tech
Use photocopier to give
students copy
Medium tech
Use spreadsheets that will
calculate results
High tech
Use Flubaroo to mark or
Google Docs to peer
assess
Flubaroo for quick grading

Awesome
Table
1. Consider WIFI options (Be honest)
If your WIFI Can handle it. Do it
in the main hall with personal
devices.
Do it in individual classrooms.
Consider half of the class doing it
at a time if WIFI is a little
underpowered.
Take in turns in ICT Lab
2. Split entries down to about 200 entries per
Spreadsheet

Conclusion
• Assessment can be engaging with the right tools & mix of
intrinsic & extrinsic rewards
• Devices enable much easier capture of whole class data. No
more hands up questioning required
• Turnaround time can be reduced to near real-time with the use
of the right tools
• Reflection can also be captured and shared
• Departments can work more cooperatively to share workload
• Schools can capture every students opinion and work on whole
school projects together

Automated Marking - Formative Assessment at its best

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Automating marking is an enormous time saver for teachers and at the same time has created quantifiably better results. In a school where the average pass rate was 38%, I achieved 100% in my subject.   Imagine getting real-time feedback from 90 people at the same time, being able to mark 200 students in less than 10 minutes and in Garden’s latest large-scale enquiry an entire school’s work was marked at once with near instantaneous feedback. This speed of feedback ensures that students get guidance when they need it.   However the speed of marking is only one side of the equation, using automated techniques also enables teachers to encourage greater reflection by separating the grading and commentary process. Using tools such as rubrics, self and peer assessment, students are given an opportunity to reflect, improve and deepen learning.   In this workshop you will see a range of tools from use of the humble photocopier through to advanced use of Google Forms, Google Sheets, Flubaroo and quizzing tools.   Not only will teachers spend less time marking, but also quicker marking turnaround will please the students and better results will please everybody!
