As you can see over here. . .
I have added a poll
and what do adolescents love. PUSHING BUTTONS!!!!.
but seriously as a tool in blogs it can be a great way to get quick and general feedback on a number of different subjects and issues. It can be used by teachers to get feedback from a group of students which is personal and also anonymous and students can also use them to get feedback from other students about their work.
But there are some drawbacks
If some students spam the poll they can create skewed results and may have the ability to frustrate and hurt each other but because of the control that you have over the results this can be minimised.
It doesn't however leave room for higher order thinking but that could come about from the discussion that the results produce in a post or in class.
Love your work Oliver.
ReplyDeleteThe use of a poll is very impressive.
Make sure you use it in your synopsis reflection for assessment.
I can show you the use of active votes where every student gets a palm device to respond to questions shown on an interactive whiteboard.
You may have seen them before.
Some schools have them and they allow students to provide annonymous instant feedback on anything during the class.
Great post.
