Evaluating and Improving

3.3

Intro

Evaluating and improving work is a cornerstone of teaching and learning. To master this element of the Digital Competency Framework, you do not necessarily need to use technology. Your pupils can use the self-assessment and peer-assessment techniques with which they are familiar.

Having said that, there are excellent ways to use technology effectively for self and peer assessment. You'll find a few suggestions below.

Activity Suggestions

This element requires the pupils to comment on whether or not they achieved the success criteria. Here are a few suggestions as to how you could incorporate technology into such an activity.

  1. Fill a Book Creator project on an iPad with photos of pupils at work. Each child (with support) creates a voice recording (or video) explaining what they were doing in the pictures and how they think they did in relation to the success criteria.
  2. Have them take a photo of their work and, after you insert it into Book Creator project, the pupils can record a video or a voice recording explaining what they did and whether they achieved their goals.
  3. Hang some impressive pieces of work on the wall/string. Pupils use a small voice recording device (peg, whiteboard etc. There are many such tools on sale to schools) to describe what they did in that task and how well they did.
  4. Pupils film each other using an iPad, explaining whether their work achieved the success criteria.

Remember that they should be giving an opinion on how they think they did in relation to more than one success criteria.
