As a way
to quickly assess my students understanding of the material, I developed two
different formats for that assessment.
The first was a “Twitter board”. The students and I both created profiles, or
twitter handles, with profile pictures and names that described us and were
laminated for multiple use. I would pose questions about their learning and
model how their responses should be formatted and how to use hashtags (#). I believe this was a safe and fun way to
incorporate cultural influences, and allow me to see the students’ ability to
reflect on their own learning.
The
second exit slip was a Traffic Light.
The colors of the traffic light represented a different level of
understanding. The students were asked to stick a sticky note, with their name
on it, on the color that best described their level of understanding after a
specific lesson.
I would to incorporate
these more often in my next block to get a better gauge of how effective it is
on my students’ learning.
