Page 5: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

teachers do not have the time for careful (meaningful) routine feedback on student assignments and performance in general

Myth: 

Page 6: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

most teachers do carefully evaluate student assignments and performance. However, they may not have large blocks of dedicated time to share all of their feedback in writing or in person

Fact: 

Page 7: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

provide more constructive feedback to students more consistently

Goal:

Transparency Engagement Evaluation Thinking (critically) High‐risk

Outcomes?

Page 10: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

Phase 1:

one‐way standardized comments digitized

dictation tagging portfolios class management interface

Phase 2:

Page 13: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

two‐way iterative self and peer critique Dragon plug‐in Toastmaster plug‐in

Phase 3:

Page 14: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

testing production testing dissemination

Startup:

Page 15: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

Learners at highest risk are receiving the least feedback

Opportunities:

Page 16: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

Learners at highest risk may not have the right equipment

Training for constructive critique (both parties)

Constraints:

Page 17: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

does positive feedback which arrives outside the classroom counter negative influences in youth’s lives?

how will student‐teacher communication on personal phones be perceived? Should feedback be delivered only during school hours? If not, does this add to student stress?

should a grading function be included?

Let’s critique:

Page 18: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

is this a slippery slope to distance learning? How do we value any contact (vs. face‐to‐face) when attendance is lagging?

how to work in areas where smartphones are not ubiquitous (either too poor (high‐risk) or not allowed)

is a smartphone currently the right medium? Could this also be used w/ other existing software?

Let’s critique:

Page 19: Classdroid extended - an application for improving feedback between teachers and students

is this an efficient way to help achieve the intended outcomes?

do you know any programmers? know anyone who can try this out?

Let’s critique:
