    1. With digital formative assessments, teachers can expedite their ability to assess and provide student feedback in real-time.

      Surprisingly. this is the most ingrained in technology class I've been in. Every time I think to myself something is about to be tedious, it ends up working so well for how this class and my brain is structured.

    2. feedback

      What he said about feedback makes the most sense possible. I find it better when the teacher can breakdown how I failed instead of just "you missed this problem because you didn't know it, or didn't study hard enough:"

    3. Equivalent: practice the specific desired objective Analogous: practice is similar to the desired objective but not identical. En-route: skill needed before performing the desired objective Irrelevant: any practice or activity that does not align with the desired objective

      This was interesting Because I actually got most of these wrong in the video and was eye opening. Specifically the first one.

    4. quiz, assignment, essay, test, or project, will provide you with evidence of student learning.

      Going towards education as a major has taught me that assessments are much more than just busy work or something that alines with what was being talked about actively. It shows understanding and that previous mindset has for sure evolved

    1. Move toward students who are off-task

      Now my only concern is that student's who recognize this, and don't do anything. I have witness countless examples where students undermine the teachers authority by continuing to do things that are off task.

    2. Ensure frequently used materials are easily accessible Provide a sense of order and organization Plan pathways to minimize congestion and distraction Students should have a clear view of instructional presentations

      These principles seem perfect when it comes to building a class layout that is effective, A table where everyone can access supplies, a pencil sharpener out of the way and not distracting, Simple table arrangement where you can view each student easily.

    3. he same advice applies especially to displays that are high maintenance, such as aquariums, pets, and plants.

      This just made me realize there were never any high maintenance displays at my school, ever.

    4. focus on learning tasks as much as possible and minimize the chances of distractions.

      This one I can understand because there has been multiple times were I have been in a classroom and was completely distracted with what was around me and that prevented me from keeping up in the class.

    1. Should scores be averaged to calculate the final grade?

      Yes, but I think a very effective way to achieve this is by dropping your lowest grade, this could be any missing assignments or large tests that you just were not ready for

    2. THINK as they examine the evidence of learning students produce

      That is such a good point to reflect on the evidence as looking outside of the worksheet, paper, etc. can really help see the student.

    3. then teachers need to handle missed work in some other way than assigning an F or a zero

      A couple that come in to mind is letting the students submit late work but at half the full grade or at a lesser deficit.

    4. school districts are using web-based grade management systems that allow parents to access their child’s grades on each assessment and the progress reports and final grades.

      You know what I just realized, my hometown school doesn't do this and even if they did, there would be a huge margin of parents who simply wouldn't care.

    1. The following verbs are too vague or difficult to measure: appreciate, cover, realize, be aware of, familiarize, study, become acquainted with, gain knowledge of, comprehend, know, learn, and understand.

      Struggled with this in high school. The teacher asks, "Do you understand?" and no one truly does, but we shake our head anyways.

    2. The first step in the lesson design process is knowing where you want your students to end up.

      Nothing but the truth on that one. I want to know where my students are going to walk away with first.

    3. forward design” in which they consider the learning activities (what students will do), the assessments (how they will measure students), then conclude by connecting everything to learning goals and standards.

      I feel like most people (at least at my school) use this constantly.

    4. lesson planning can seem overwhelming and laborious.

      Ain't that the truth. It's one of my biggest fears as a teacher. That's why I talk with any and every science teacher I know and ask them all the time how they do their lesson plans

    1. Effective classroom management starts with defining your expectations for student behavior

      That is so true. Once you establish those boundaries and expectations of your students, then you can have a effective classroom

    1. Instances where using social media can be good for your career: 41% of employers said they were less likely to give someone an interview if they couldn’t find any information online about the person (CareerBuilder, 2016).

      I think its also important to consider that some people can put a "front" social media to cover their actual feelings. As a way for employers to see only the side they want to see.

    2. An increasing number of employers are using social media to screen job applicants. While some content on public social media can harm your chances of being hired, other content may make you stand out as a potential asset for a company.

      This I believe is very helpful for employers. Knowing how they behave online is very different from how they act in real life, like how a background check searches their public records. An online version would provide more substantial and comprehensive view on their life.
