For in class I have small classes and can look. When kids are doing group work it is easy to see who is talking and who is along for the ride. I tell those that are coasting that they are out of the group and need to do their own work for a while. After tears and whining by the ejected student I find out what the problem is.Garthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-66320324871542358022020-06-19T14:35:52.949-04:002020-06-19T14:35:52.949-04:00I think I'd try raw timing of a second variati...I think I'd try raw timing of a second variation of each problem. Students should certainly have all the time required to do whatever they need to to figure out some core principle or problem. If the student is really picking up the material, 2nd and 3rd problems of the same nature should go relatively quickly (and, of course, they have the incentive to go quickly on these additional problems because they want to get their work done ASAP).<br /><br />If 2nd/3rd variations were slow to complete, that would be a decent warning sign, I hypothesize.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03126951768862692869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677687.post-47354888418571488132020-06-19T14:09:16.867-04:002020-06-19T14:09:16.867-04:00For face to face teaching, Lanschool let me monito...For face to face teaching, Lanschool let me monitor students without letting them or their classmates know I was watching. I could also chat with them without anyone knowing, so they would communicate with me.<br /><br />I've been teaching online for 5 years, and the way that curriculum is set up, I also know pretty well. We get a progress report from the system each week and I know instantly who hasn't turned in work. I also hand grade each assignment (required) and review their quizzes as they do them (not required).<br /><br />I know pretty quickly with both systems who needs help.Kathleen Weavernoreply@blogger.com
