Make the assignment
and method for assessing student work available in a post in your blog.
Millennials are
connected more than ever. They are comfortable with communicating online. Yet,
dropout rate of online learning is very high. I believe this is because of lack
of connection. To be successful an online learning environment must retain
students through developing a feeling of connection. Giving feedback is one way
we can make students feel connected. It lets the students know that the teacher
is invested and cares about the students. There are four characteristics of
effective feedback. Feedback should be standards based. The teacher should
review the work and explain the learning expectations related to the standards.
Second, feedback should be instructional. Teachers can send remediation or
enrichment opportunities related to the standards. Third it is positive. There
is a different between encouragement and praise. Students should realize that
the effort they put into their work is directly effecting their work. Finally,
it is also essential to make sure that feedback timely.
The assignment
created address three gifted standards. The students will be responsible for
creating a visual analogy. This could be a choice product for the standard. The
students will have the opportunity to ask questions in a conference room to receive
feedback. There will also be a synchronous session where students can get
direct feedback. Finally, a rubric that addresses each standard will be used.
Please see the attached documents.
