FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Formative assessment has allowed teachers (or at least, me), to focus more on the student's progress tant in their results. From my perspective, this is a fair view of each individual since the departing point of our learners is different from one another. Moreover, it also provides the learners with a more engaging and positive feedback, which at the same time, they can self-improve since real feedback is given to them before the final evaluation.

Some websites to get formative assessment rubrics and further info about them:

FORMS, QUIZZES AND TESTS

SOCRATIVE: https://b.socrative.com/teacher/#launch

I'll use it on the first day of class next school year!! I loved it because I could see it has multiple options for tests, games, vocabulary revision, etc...all this while having fun.

GOOGLE FORMS: https://www.google.com/forms/about/?utm_source=gaboutpage&utm_medium=formslink&utm_campaign=gabout

I'd say it is a tool my students might use to make a survey on whatever at the end of a lesson or project. Easy to share the form with the members that are supposed to answer the questions and quick visual results for those who are running the survey.

PLICKERS: https://www.plickers.com/library

I've mainly used this resource as reading and oral comprehension (with listenings or videos). What I like the most is that it is anonymous, fun, easy to use and you can get the students results instantly.

GOOGLE EXPEDITIONS

The Google expeditions I'd use are the following:

On Safari with Taronga Zoo, Dubbo: This one would be for younger students in order to learn about exotic animals and  I might complete the task with a Blippar drag and drop vocabulary task on animal parts.

7 New Wonders of the World: This could be worked at any stage (adapting the level of difficulty to the students' age) and could be worked transversally with the geography teacher since there is a wide variety of tasks that could be related to this expedition such as an infographics  of the different wonders for later on getting an online magazine.

 Bees and Honey production: It could be used in 1st cycle of ESO students and worked together with the science teacher and even with arts and crafts professional since student could also be asked to create a bee, a hive, etc made out of recycled materials and even run a survey to get further knowledge on this topic since there are several honey producers in the area. They could also run a campaign for bee protection.

Climate change: again, it can be used at any secondary school stage depending on the activities related to that. The aim of such task is to foster environmentally friendlier citizens. It could also be connected to the 17 sustainable development goals.

Refugees: Integration through community: I'd say this is an interesting topic due to the high level of refugees around Europe. By working on such topic, we may help students understand the situation better, be on refugees shoes and be more tolerant. This task could be dealt with in different subjects

AUGMENTED REALITY WITH BLIPPAR

The links I've learnt today are blippar.com and HPReveal, but what I liked the most was seeing live how to create own AR triggers. I think these tools are great in order to conclude any school projects or even to work on simpler tasks in class such as vocabulary but in a much more engaging way for students.
