Mr. A.Mr. B.100% pass
38% pass
WHY?
Automating marking is an enormous time saver for teachers and at the same time has created quantifiably better results. In a school where the average pass rate was 38%, I achieved 100% in my subject. Imagine getting real-time feedback from 90 people at the same time, being able to mark 200 students in less than 10 minutes and in Gardens latest large-scale enquiry an entire schools work was marked at once with near instantaneous feedback. This speed of feedback ensures that students get guidance when they need it. However the speed of marking is only one side of the equation, using automated techniques also enables teachers to encourage greater reflection by separating the grading and commentary process. Using tools such as rubrics, self and peer assessment, students are given an opportunity to reflect, improve and deepen learning.In this workshop you will see a range of tools from use of the humble photocopier through to advanced use of Google Forms, Google Sheets, Flubaroo and quizzing tools. Not only will teachers spend less time marking, but also quicker marking turnaround will please the students and better results will please everybody!

Capturing Data from studentsData Capture
Video / Picture captureRecord evidence Can now annotate videos / mark etcAuto dated & located via Google Photos
Google Forms is your best friend!Google forms will capture most types of data, mark it for you and even issue badges and certificates
Simply copy the form from one lesson to the next...
Turnaround Time
Share Rubrics / Answer KeysLow techUse photocopier to give students copy
Medium tech Use spreadsheets that will calculate results
High tech Use Flubaroo to mark or Google Docs to peer assess
Flubaroo for quick grading

Awesome Table
1. Consider WIFI options (Be honest)
If your WIFI Can handle it. Do it in the main hall with personal devices.
Do it in individual classrooms. Consider half of the class doing it at a time if WIFI is a little underpowered.
Take in turns in ICT Lab
2. Split entries down to about 200 entries per Spreadsheet
3. Code up the SpreadsheetsCreate FormCreate Spreadsheet and use formula to mark it. (Flubaroo will be too slow for this)

ConclusionAssessment can be engaging with the right tools & mix of intrinsic & extrinsic rewardsDevices enable much easier capture of whole class data. No more hands up questioning requiredTurnaround time can be reduced to near real-time with the use of the right toolsReflection can also be captured and sharedDepartments can work more cooperatively to share workloadSchools can capture every students opinion and work on whole school projects together
