Challenge Class Summary @KariStubbs @BrainPOP #21CLHK

@KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK Let me share with you some interesting research on the intersection of play and formative assessment and how much we can learn about student learning through digital games. The Melinda & Bill Gates Foundation funded a study out of the University of Michigan and NYU called A-GAMES - Analyzing Games for Assessment in Math, ELA/SS, and Science. It explored how teachers actually use video games in their teaching to support formative assessment. Nearly 500 teachers participated in the study. @KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK

@KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK The results were quite interesting! First - it is important to note digital game use can improve how teachers conduct formative assessment – from frequency to checking for things like motivation and engagement. The survey showed that 91.7% of teachers who use digital games for formative assessment on a daily basis actually provide that feedback back to students on a daily basis. @KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK

@KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK Also, teachers are more likely to find alternative instructional strategies when they use games as a vehicle for formative assessment. Did you know that teachers who use games more regularly also use games to hit a wider range of objectives (teaching core and supplemental content, assessing students)? @KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK

@KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK And, interestingly, teachers who use digital games are more likely to communicate confidence and success regarding their own formative assessment practices than non-game using teachers. <see if I can pull out a specific example from the full report> @KariStubbs @BrainPOP @BarryFishman #AGAMES #21CLHK
