Teaching and Learning Gem #11 – Digital Exit Ticket
Ian Richardson added me to his Year 9 Computer Science Team as a student, so I get all sorts of reminders to complete Teams Assignments, such as quick low stakes quizzes to check my knowledge. He decided to use Forms and Teams Assignments to push out an Exit Ticket to all students at the end of the lesson. This allowed him quickly to see how every student was feeling about her progress and it enabled him to adapt his teaching going forwards.
As a student, this is what popped up for me at the end of the lesson:
And when I opened the Assignment, I could fill in my self-reflection about the lesson:
This is effective because:
- Every student gets her voice heard: it creates a one-to-one connection between student and teacher.
- Through the Assignments function, Ian can quickly click through the responses and check who has/hasn’t completed it.
- Ian can adapt his teaching going forwards to cater to the learners.
- Ian can put in interventions/differentiate if it is clear that some students need extra support.
- It encourage students to reflect on their own learning and progress.
