Data and data.....

I used Moodle to give a summative assessment last week, then I disaggregated.

Who doesn't love to disaggregate data? I pulled the assessment apart and looked at each benchmark and how students performed. Then to sort and highlight numbers on the spreadsheet, that data was too much!

The scores seen above are a portion of that. Pink and red were proficient for that section about macromolecules. Those not highlighted have some work to do.

A student asked if it took a long time to get those numbers into the spreadsheet on the iPad.....I just laughed. Cut, copy and insert rows.

I took the iPad around the room and sat with every student, showing them the scores and where they were strong and where work was yet to be done to hit mastery.

Moodle gave them instant feedback of not only their percentage scores, but individual answers, as well as the overall score of 4, 3, 2, or 1. Students then have to figure out what needs to be done differently if not at a 3 for the test, but at least a 3 in the individual targets.

On to the retakes. Those will start in the next day or so.

Will they have studied at all, or differently? Will they utilize the resources available?
