Hello Karlie,

I am not in your learning pod group, but trying to look at my other classmates’ sites! I would like to say that your site is awesome, it is very pleasing to look at, easy to read and very well organized, great work!

I noticed you’re a classroom teacher and teach some socials 10 do you teach any other classes? I just finished my second year of the Elementary BEd program here at Uvic. 

I have only had experiences in elementary and have tried some similar methods of formative with the littles and I get a pretty smooth reaction, as even for them they do not encounter marks too much. I think that is interesting. Your class had a bit of pushback with the idea.

Thanks for sharing that picture of the learning cycle that really helps provide a clear image.

I completely agree with what you noticed about student feedback and self-reflection. I think that makes up a big part of our course.  I absolutely loved your point on how there is no “right” way to assessment as I think this should be emphasized more, all strategies are there and can be used when appropriately for that given class or given student. Thanks so much for such an informative and lovely blog post, I really enjoyed reading it!
