Self Grading Forms

Self Grading Form


For this assignment of self-grading, I made a spelling test. When I finally finished the spread sheet I realized that you can not publish the quiz because I would be writing the spelling words. So this is a hypothetical test that I gave to the children orally and they answered the questions on the form.  With that being said, here is the spread sheet that goes along with the quiz, along with a picture of it below.

The You Tube video was very helpful.

The quiz is below and the students would use this form to type in their answers.

Google Docs

I decided to do a survey for this assignment. I would use this for a teacher inservice or lecture so that I can get input on what was interesting, needs improvement or not necessary.

I opened google.com/forms  and started to create my survey.  There are templates but I decided to create my own.  I picked some multiple choices, a linear scale  multiple choice and  drop down questions.

 I decided to ask questions concerning the presidential candidates from 2016.  I found an "interesting facts about the candidates" page on line and chose some of the questions. I also watched this video from you tube which helped me get started .

When I finished the survey i save it and embedded it into my blog. I did change the size because it over took the blog page.  The next task is to click settings so that you can assign people to take the survey.
SAMR- Redefinition
This is the highest order of thinking skills.  The students can this type of technology to recreate new tasks.  They can send their surveys to other places other than their school and think more globally.
  ISTE
Facilitate and inspire student learning and creativity
The use of google documents can facilitate experiences that advance student learning, engage students, promote reflection and use this application in collaboration with other students.

NUMBERS 1.7

In this assignment we were asked to look at the data from a Statistics class which has the prerequisite of algebra.  The professor wanted to know whether or not having college algebra made a difference in the final grade.
The null hypothesis is that the students who took college algebra before taking the class would effect their grades.
The alternate hypothesis is not taking college algebra had no effect on the student's grade.   When I entered the data, in the online calculator, the results indicated that the Null hypothesis was confirmed. Students would benefit from taking college algebra.

Kahhoot Quiz and Quizzes I rolled them into one post

Kahhoot

It is funny that we had an inservice at my school on how to use technology to assess the children. They recommended this fun program which can be an app on the computer,  phone or ipad or you log-in on the browser. 

Kahoot allows you to make a quiz that the entire class can use and it is teacher controlled.  The teacher has the main quiz, the students answer the questions and the class can see how everyone answered.  The teacher then moves to the next question and it moves on the students device too.  

I decided to use the Governor's Race that the 4th grade does when they are trying to study for the SOLs.  They are given a learning packet and a power point but I feel that this is more fun and the children do not know that they are being assessed.  

Here are 5 questions of the quiz.  

Governor's Race 

The governor's race is an example of spaced Effects.  Below is a description of spaced effects.  The questions on the test cover the information that the students were tested on in throughout the year.  It is summative and goes back to the first quarter.   This type of spaced testing helps with long term retention of material that may have been forgotten from the first quarter 

Spaced Effects

Spaced schedules of testing (like spaced schedules of studying) produce better long-term retention than a single test. When a single test is administered immediately after learning, students obtain high scores, but long-term retention is reduced with a single immediate test relative to spaced testing. When a test is given immediately after learning has occurred, learners still have the newly-learned information in a primary memory system and therefore obtain high test scores. Both teachers and learners often misjudge their high scores on a test given immediately after learning as evidence of good retention, when, in fact, long-term retention suffers with this practice.

INFOGRAPHICS

For this assignment I read Vodcasts and Active-Learning Exercises in a "Flipped Classroom." The task was to develop an infographic which would summarize the article using a this method.  The study was a comparison of test scores. One way the material was presented in a traditional way.  The second group listened to a vodcast of the material in conjunction with the classroom material. 

 I chose Piktochart to display the information.  This webpage gave you some choices on what format you wanted to use. I picked the first one and it was free (another reason).
Quite honestly, I did not like this tool It was tedious and I could do the same thing with Word.
In terms of SAMR, since I did not feel that it really was an improvement on an existing application, I would put it on the  Augmentation level because  it is a different level but it is adding just a small amount of functionality.   

In terms of ISTE this tool can be used by the students to be creative, can inspire student learning and creativity.  Teacherscan use this  technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in virtual environments.

 Causes of the American Revolution Prezi

The objective of this activity is to demonstrate the ability to use digital skills to acquire, analyze and manipulate data.

I logged onto the webpage NAEP State Comparisons and uploaded the information and put it on a spread sheet. 

The assignment is to  conduct a test to assess the 4th grade NAEP reading scores for Hispanic and Black students using an online t-test calculator.

Hypothesis:

H1    There is a statically significant difference between the NAEP mean scores of Black and Hispanic students on the 4th grade reading assessment.

H0: There is no difference between the mean scores.

Here are the results

Since the p score is 0.02536, the null hypothesis is rejected. 

EBOLA Survey

Ebola   1.5 Likert Scale Surveys

Ebola Survey

For this assignment we were asked to look at the Ebola survey, created with Google Forms, recently posed to P3 pharmacy science students. Here is the data set that represents the results from questions 26-31.  The design of the study was a pre-post, where students completed the survey, sat through an information session about Ebola, then took the survey again.

The research question was did the intervention have any impact on the knowledge, skills or attitudes of the students?

In order to answer this question we need to compare the descriptive data and t-test results of the pre-test means for each question to the post-test descriptive and t-test results.

The first task of this assignment was to identify the variables. The first variable is an independent variable which means that it is the variable that causes change. For this problem, the independent variable is the lesson given to the students about variable. The dependent variable is the item that changes and in this problem it is the scores of the students. 

The data shows that the T-Test is very high indicating that there is no significant difference in the scores. There were some scores that were high and some that were low which indicates that the information session that was presented to the students did not make that big of an impact. 

In short- The informational session on Ebola seems to be unsuccessful.

Screencast O Matic

I do not like to watch myself on video but I bit the bullet and did it anyway. I chose to show a video on a program that we use in class. It is a spelling program called spelling city that helps kids learn their spelling words. 

The video was 4:15 minutes. I tried to sound as upbeat as possible and tried not to bore my audience. I decided to sit, few pauses and tried to pace my rate of speech.   

I left the error in the presentation because it shows that even sometimes unexpected things happen. 

So here it is

In terms of SAMR this technology is being used more effectively for things like distance learning, collaborative teacher meetings where not everyone can be at the same place at the same time and to show new and upcoming programs, movies, ideas or lessons that others may not have thought about. It could transform the way that information is shared among staff.
