ScreenR

__ Using ScreenR to provide meaningful assessment and feedback __

Instructions for using ScreenR

One area of teacher work that is very time consuming but critical is assessment and feedback.

ScreenR uses screen capture and video to allow you to talk to a piece of work rather than mark it up. Once you've 'talked' to the piece of work you are able to email the feedback to the student and they are then able to access the audio/video file at home or at school. This feedback can be summative or formative.

Talking to student work, believe it or not, can be a way of saving time! Being able to talk to the students work can make feedback more detailed and in some ways bridges the gap between a student conference about a piece of work which is rich and meaningful but time consuming and a marked up piece of work, which current research suggests is not as effective as we might like given the time that it takes out of our lives! Check out this example.
