Online Exit ticket through Formative

Online Math Exit Tickets

 This year, I spent time exploring Formative assessment tools for a PD that a colleague and I created.  So we created an outline and had about 12-16 tools and ideas.  We ended up cutting down the resources to about six tools in the end as otherwise it was too overwhelming.  I really like Quizziz as teachers can create a Quizziz and students can play/complete in a rotation in a blended classroom, together with the class or at home.  I like this flexibility that it provides. 

 The resource that I have always heard about and often checked out and then never have used is Formative.  A teacher emailed with a wonderful resource Embarc online.  It is math resource that breaks down all of the Engage NY modules for every grade level.  There are google docs, slides resources and many of the lessons have already created “Formative” exit tickets.  It is an amazing wealth of resources.  So I spent time to really understand and try out Formative.  I will add more of a how to get started with Formative as it took a bit get it all going.

 Getting Started with Formative to assign Formative exit tickets from Embarc online.
I hope some of the tips below, help to lessen any frustration and get started with using the online exit tickets for math.

Teacher:

  • Go to Formative, https://goformative.com, click "I'm a teacher" and use "Login with Google" to create an account.
  • Click on a Go Formative exit ticket link from Embarc online. Clone the exit ticket.  (you can assign or come back to this after setting up your class in Formative.  Just back out and the Formative is now listed as one of your Formatives.
  • Go to the "Classes" tab. Make sure your Google Classroom is showing, if needed you can import classes or reimport students.  I also delete all of my classes that I would not use with Formative to clean it up.  Note that there is a code to the right of each class, you will need this to get your students connected.
  • Co to the "Formatives" tab, click on the formative that you would like to assign.  Choose your Google classroom & then make sure to turn on "Post to Google Classroom".  This will post the assignment with link.



Students- 1st on GoFormative:
  • Go to www.goformative.com, and choose "I'm a student", create an account, & "Login with Google".  It does have "I am 13 yrs old" already checked for students.
  • Click "Join a class" and add in the code from your teacher.

Students- 2nd from link in Google Classroom:
  • Now, students can click on the link from the teacher for the exit ticket in their Google Classroom.  (Important to do the first steps and join the class before clicking on the this link.)
  • In Formative, I found the toolbar pretty easy to use.  The drawing tool is awkward but not bad.  I found the text tool also easy to use.  Some examples of the exit ticket answers are below.

Formative Assessment Tools

Formative assessment is a process and the articles that fit tools into categories or parts of this process were most helpful to me.  I looked at using Google Forms Quizzes, Socrative, and Kahoot all of which can be used to check for understanding. Google Forms is a great way to assess what your student learned in a lesson.  I use Google Forms quite often but haven't looked at the new self-grading quizzes.  After creating a new quiz, in the settings, you can turn on "Make this a quiz".  Teachers can choose the correct answer in the answer key and assign the points for the the question.  I also really like that you can add feedback for when the question is answered correct and incorrect.  This immediate feedback can help students when they are still interested and have their mind on the  topic.   Google Forms can be used at an exit ticket, mid-lesson check, or within a blended setting where students are working at their own pace on a lesson.

Carnival Infographic poster

Carnival Poster I worked on an infographic poster for a carnival school event. After working in both Piktochart and Canva, I got a feel for both of them.  The two posters are below. I will see which one the Carnival team likes best.  Under the posters are my thoughts on each. https://www.canva.com/design/DABrbQ_P1bQ/view Thoughts on using Canva. I found more free images that I liked.  It doesn't provide an embed code. You can post to facebook or get the link to your work.  Also to download the jpeg or a PDF, you need to pay for any of the images or templates that you used. I tried to use free images and didn't realize that I chose a template that costs $1. This poster will cost $1 which I will pay after I make final changes..Maybe this isn't that costly as a monthly upgrade on Piktochart is more expensive. Canva has tutorials on graphic design.   https://designschool.canva.com/tutorials/ Thoughts on using Piktochart. I like the option to embed and
