@alicekeeler @KatyGolinsky @texthelp Good suggestion.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@KatyGolinsky @alicekeeler @texthelp I always give student the chance to redo the work for most ,if not all of the creidit. It seems to work for me. When assignments aren't graded, students don't care.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @KatyGolinsky @texthelp Isn't this the most important part of writing?

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler I guess you don't really want to honest critique.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler Why do you assume that the activities are worse? In the past, you have used justifications such as " a high school student said so" I hope you reasoning is better than that.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @Jentechnology Where?

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @Jentechnology Why does paperless feedback need to be "scribbles"? I am able to give my students meaningful feedback through Google Classroom. It's better than the "scribbles" on the margins of a paper.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @Jentechnology Maybe in math a robot can give feedback but not in English and Social Studies.Also, if you are getting feedback from a robot, what does that say about the type of question is being asked? Questions that require true critical thinking can't be answered by a robot.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler The implication that paperless is bad is a dangerous message. You are creating a justifcation for teachers who don't want to embrace change.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @Jentechnology How is handing papers back quicker?

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler @Jentechnology Why can't you give paperless feedback?

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler "I asked a high school student.." Is this really the best way to conclusively prove that something doesn't work? You ignore all of the benefits that even a digital " worksheet" has over paper.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler I agree scribbled feedback is worthless. Typing a response,when returning assignments, allows for teachers to do it better. You are not limited to the margins of a paper. Regardless, it’s a step in the right direction.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler How does Kahoot make it better? What kind of questions are you asking if they can get feedback from Kahoot? Not critical thinking questions.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler Even “digital worksheets” are a step in the right direction. With digital worksheets, students can access their work anywhere.It also allows teachers to give more meaningful feedback, rather than a just some note scribbled on a piece of paper they will eventually lose.

[Brian McInerney @historyeb]

@alicekeeler What about when the wifi goes out and the students lose all their work?
