6. Our journey ...
from to

11. Example Goobric/ (rubric)
A Google Sheet
Top left cell blank
Left column - Criteria being marked
Top row - grades - can be text or numeric
Brief description of evidence/ judgements
Looks a lot like a TKI Mark schedule

12. Feedback/Matrix added at end of student document on submit

13. Teachers get: Record kept of all marking, feedback, links to student work and more

14. Teacher feedback Help please to set up for my class
Love not having to take home piles of paper
Quick and easy marking - once I got used to it
Students can see feedback right away (some discussion about whether that was good or bad)
Made it really easy to send work for moderation - marking decisions/thinking in comments
Easy to see which papers were on a boundary - for further discussion or resubmission
Could see document history - easy to detect unusual activity/cheating
Can see patterns of where students struggled - I can see where to improve my teaching for next time.

16. Take it for a test drive
Create a goobric (or copy Generic Goobric)
Get Doctopus Add-on and open a sheet.
Pull in a sample assignment from a classroom, link it to your goobric, and see how easy it is to mark.

17. Next steps at MRGS:
Thinking about which further standards could be set, marked and assessed in this way
Has been used for:
1.10, 1.11, 2.9, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 set and managed on Google classroom.
Feedback, Feedforward
for practice tasks
as check points during an internal assessment
Student/peer feedback in practice tasks
Suggestions ….

18. What I have learned … Every journey starts with small steps.
Patience is a virtue
Not all new ideas are good ideas
Transparency has its pros and cons
Digital tools are always changing
Teachers are responsive
Students benefit from feedback
There is still lots to learn
