As we come to a close for ELRC 4507 my final post centers around student competency and reflection. In a nutshell, how can we allow students to show what they know and think about what they know or what gaps they might need to fill. This varies from classroom to classroom and with personalities and learning styles of students. I have some students who thrive with using Microsoft Flip because speaking is absolutely their strength (and demise at times). I have others who are more creative and would do better with creating digital sketch notes or infographic to represent and summarize their learning. In many cases these do not have to be used in isolation. I am a huge proponent of using rubrics for grading in our learning management system. This allows for students to see what the expectation is immediately and self assess as needed.
What are my top ten ways to allow students to demonstrate competency and reflect on their learning in my classroom?
Microsoft Flip (formerly Flipgrid) response to open ended question(s).
Engage in conversation using Padlet.
Use Seesaw as an outlet to create a student portfolios.
Create sketch notes to summarize learning using Canva or similar applications.
Create a word cloud with vocabulary words to describe a topic or unit using Wordle.
Create a Frayer Model or graphic organizer on Google Slides using a digital template.
Use a choice board to choose representation of learning.
Allow students to document learning journey through a blog or digital journal on Google Slides or Book Creator.
Respond to or create a meme on Google Forms or Padlet.
Allow for students to self grade using a rubric on their learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, Google Classroom) to evaluate their own work.
Now these are just the tip of the iceberg of examples I would use in my classroom to demonstrate student learning and allow for their own reflection. Each of these would greatly depend on the unit and content that they are looking to reflect and demonstrate competency of, as well as the content and grade level I would want to implement this in. For example, this list would look massively different if I was to jump back into teaching 1st grade again instead of 5th grade math. Hopefully these are relevant and applicable ideas to intentionally demonstrate in classrooms other than just my own.
