1. What is the TP knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how does the technology you have chosen support the teaching strategies and methods you have chosen?)
I know that feedback if done right can be essential to students’ progress. I have experienced this in my class first hand when going over the homework from the night before. By doing this, most students get a better understanding of what it is I want them to know. Classmarker.com allows for students to get the information of what they missed while it is still fresh in their head. Studies show that students retain information better when they are excited and I believe that we are most excited right before the quiz is handed out and when we hand the quiz back in. Because their adrenaline is still running from them completing the quiz, students are more likely to remember the feedback given to them. Another essential to feedback is making it relevant. With Classmarker.com, I can post answers with explanation of why the correct answer is the best choice. It also allows for me to answer any clarifying questions that may still arise. Lastly, it is essential that I get feedback so I know what it is I need to change or re-teach. By using this program, I can quickly see the data of questions missed and overall scores. This allows for me to make modifications in my teaching to better reach my students which hopefully will raise their scores.
2. What is the TC knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how specifically does this technology make the content in your problem more intellectually accessible? Be sure to think about representation.)
I want for my students to do better on their quizzes and unit test. With Classmarker.com my students will have access to technology that can help them do this. Students will not only get feedback on their answers, but they will be able to see their progress from quiz to quiz, which will give them a better understanding why their grade it what it is. Students can also see what quizzes they did poorly on and know what part of the unit they need to study the most. Parents are also a factor in a child’s education and they too can have access to the quizzes and their child’s scores. By posting a parent quiz that can be done multiple times, parents can experience the quiz and then take the opportunity to review the answers with their child. Because there are other teachers who help students with special needs, it is crucial that they have access to the quiz. Their access can help to determine what supports are needed to help out the child. Overall, using this program will allow for multiple stakeholders to have access to the assessments so more supports can be put into place which will result in better assessment scores.
3. What is the PC knowledge for the solution? (i.e., how specifically do your pedagogical choices make the content in your problem more intellectually accessible? Be sure to think about how the student will experience the content given these instructional strategies.
Because I feel that I am missing a crucial part of my teaching by not providing adequate feedback in a timely manner, students' assessment scores are not a high as they could be. By incorporating an online test that provides quick and essential feedback, I am able to embed a crucial element of a good teaching practices. My students will have access to information that is directed directly at them so it becomes important. By it being directed at them, they do not have to wait to get the information for the questions they missed. They also have the ability to retake quizzes so they can reassess to see if they have mastered a concept the second time before moving onto the unit test. Having this access to feedback can provide better one on one help because this time is spent directly on the parts of the concept they missed and not the entire concept. Each child will receive feedback because each child will take the quiz, how they use the feedback to improve their score is up to them but the possibilities are endless.
