Remarkable Reviews: Part 1 Self Guided Reviews

Even though it might not feel like it, the end of the year is quickly approaching.
That means standardized tests are just around the corner. Most teachers struggle
between finishing all their content and having time for adequate review. Below
is one way teachers can use technology to work in needed review with students.

Self Guided Reviews.

Google Forms is a useful program in G-Suites, and a lot of teachers use it for quizzes.

However by investing just a little more time, you can make quizzes you already have

into great self guided reviews. One of the options when you create a question in Google

Forms is to provide feedback. If you take the time to fill out the feedback section, you

can give students materials, assignments, or videos to review content they have missed.

Since this review is self guided, students can complete the review whenever it fits into

your class, such as when they finish other assignments, or it can even be done outside

of the class (assuming the student has internet access). 

Here are some examples of how to use feedback that will change a quiz into a self

guided review. (In the example I am using math, but similar feedback could be used

for any subject). 

If the question is 

Solve 

10 1−x = 104

Feedback Option 1:

Sorry that is incorrect. Here is how to work that equation

1 – x = 4

1 – 4 = x

–3 = x

And the solution is:

x = –3

Feedback Option 2:

Sorry that is incorrect. Watch this video to see how to work this kind of equation. 

Feedback Option 3:

Sorry that is incorrect. Review pages 34-38 in the textbook to review how to

work this kind of equation. 

Feedback Option 4: 

Sorry that is incorrect. Review the presentation from class to see how to work

this kind of equation. (Link Google Slides used in class). 

By giving students resources directly related to what they missed, you are giving

them the opportunity to learn where they went wrong and you are giving them a

personal sense of ownership for what they learn.
