New to Google Classroom - Practice Sets!
Google has recently announced a new and powerful tool that will be coming to Google Classroom, called 'Practice Sets'. Practice sets can be given to students in the same fashion that homework is assigned. Practice sets can be created using new or existing material.
The power behind practice sets is twofold, for the student's and the teacher's experiences. Once the practice set has been created, Google's powerful artificial intelligence tools will review the practice set and find useful videos and concept cards that can help the student better understand the concepts being presented. Upon the teacher's approval, these videos and concept cards can be embedded into the practice setting. The 'auto grading' feature within practice sets will let the students know when they are correct and will provide the teacher-approved videos and concept cards where appropriate. This will provide immediate feedback for the students as they are working through the practice set.
Now that I am focusing on assessment as your faithful Secondary Assessment Teacher, I thought I would share a few deeper dives into some of the terms and concepts we teachers talk about and are guided by every day .
The first in this series is an overview that is presented by Damian Cooper. It will give you a quick, 5 minute overview of what triangulation is and how that fits in with our own overall and specific curriculum expectations. Cooper suggests that using technology is the way to collect triangulated evidence and we will explore this more later in the series.
In the next post, I will look more specifically at triangulation and what that means in a short video.
If you would like to learn more about a specific aspect of assessment, evaluation or reporting and all the terms, ideas and examples therein, please email me and suggest a post.
Now, on to Damian Cooper:
Will the struggle between valid assessment of students and Artificial Intelligence Chatbot generated work become the new Battle Royale in teaching?
The P.D. session on February 17, 2023 on ChatGPT and other AI applications gave us a glimpse of what is to come. Some teachers expressed concern that applications like ChatGPT might make plagiarism and cheating harder to detect. So, let's take a look at some ways that we can make our assessments and evaluations of students reliable, valid and rich (and more plagiarism resistant).
