Timely feedback is one of the most powerful tools educators have to shape student success, yet it’s often overlooked or delayed. When students receive feedback quickly, they can better understand their strengths and areas for improvement, making it easier to adjust their learning strategies before moving too far down the wrong path. In this post, we’ll share three technology tools that can be used to provide feedback in a timely manner and foster a supportive learning environment that motivates students to engage, improve, and ultimately thrive.
Slido
Slido is a web-based interactive polling and Q&A platform, that gives teachers real-time feedback to assess student understanding and provides opportunities for teachable moments. For added convenience and interactivity, teachers can create and launch polls directly from their Slide presentations.
Pages
Provide feedback on writing using voice comments and Smart Annotations. With Smart Annotations, you can mark up and add feedback to Pages documents. Annotations stay connected to marked-up objects as revisions are made so students and teachers can review, track, and incorporate changes.
Google Docs/Google Classroom
You can give your students personalized feedback on any type of file in the Classroom grading tool. You can leave comments on student work and maintain a comment bank to store comments that you use most often.
