Teachers can give assessments in the format of a game show. There is theme music, a timer, a colorful background with options to include text, images, or video in your questions, and even a leaderboard! It is great for review or a quick assessment, but there may be times when you wouldn't want the students getting points on the leaderboard. The points are based on time, and, as a former math teacher, I felt that there was a place for both. Some facts like multiplication might need to be rewarded for speed, while in multi-step problems, teachers would only want to know if students understand without the stress of "being the first one done."
Some people may not be aware, but you can actually turn the points off for questions. Want to see what students understand without rewarding the first one finished? Simple. Turn off the points. Here's how:

ReplyDeleteCould you please answer the following questions as well:
What are the best turorials to show how to eliminate the ranking of students (no comparison of students with each other)?
Can you compare students's individual achievements over time?
And how can you show the classes shared joint achievement. Are their good tutorials for the latter questions as well?
Thank you!
