This document discusses using technology to provide effective feedback and formative assessment to students. It recommends using tools like PollEverywhere, Twitter chats with hashtags, and Google Forms to collect student responses and feedback in an efficient manner. These tools allow for real-time feedback between teachers and students as well as among students. The timing of feedback is important to improve student performance, so these technologies help educators quickly receive and deliver comments.

TIMING IS IMPORTANT!
3. Feedback
Therefore, the question becomes:
HOW CAN WE USE TECHNOLOGY TO HELP US
GIVE AND RECEIVE FEEDBACK IN AN
EFFICIENT MANNER?
4. PollEverywhere
http://www.polleverywhere.com
Allows for you to create questions that students
can respond with mobile devices (cell phone,
smart phone, tablet/iPad)
Various Student Response Systems (i.e.,
“clickers”) accomplish same result; instructions
vary.

6. Twitter Chats (aka Tweetups)
Conversing in real-time or asynchronously
using the hashtag (#) feature in Twitter
Allows for communication over Twitter
without the need for following (i.e.,
‘friending’) students
But tweets must be unblocked!
Questions and answers can come from
anyone!
7. Tweetups
Simply add unique hashtag to every Tweet
(e.g., #sikobio)
Hashtags are searchable
Use a free Twitter management website/app
for organization (TweetDeck, HootSuite,
Twubs)
Long-term Search: topsy.com
9. Google Forms
Survey response using Google Apps for
Education
Can be used for feedback (which is collected
in a spreadsheet)
Can also be used for semi-automatically
graded quizzes
Advanced: directly email students feedback
based on results (not today, though)
