What will teacher do? What materials are needed? How long will the SRS activity take?): Students will leave everything at their desk and go to the computers. They will then all log on to Socrative as students and put in my room number. They will then take the quiz (without talking to anyone other than me). As the teacher I will walk around the classroom to monitor everything. This is a short pop quiz so it should only take about 5-10 minutes to complete.

Immediate Corrective Feedback: Will you pre-select correct answers to some or all of the questions and display the correct response to the class after the SRS activity? Yes No Why or why not? So that the students will know their scores and if they get a question wrong they will learn from their mistake and know the correct answer for the future. Use of Data: What data will be collected as a result of this activity. How will it be used and by whom? (For example: Will information collected from this activity be used to award a grade? Will the individual information collected be shared with students and/or parents to help them monitor individual progress? Will you discuss the aggregate, anonymous data with the whole class to help them learn? Will you use data to differentiate instruction for students? If so, describe how. ) Data on knowing if the student understands the content being taught will be collected for this activity. It will be used by the teacher to determine what material needs to be gone over or covered more. Describe what will occur after the SRS activity: After the SRS quiz I will review the results and go over the question(s) that most students got incorrect. Describe your personal learning goal for this activity. (For example: What are you trying that you have not tried before? What do you hope to learn from this activity? How do you hope it will help students learn? You must design something that will help you learn something new! Honor System!) One thing that I am trying that I have not tried before is testing students electronically instead of on paper. I hope to learn that by using SRS I will receive students quiz and test results faster then I would grading them by hand. I also hope that this will be a less stressful environment for students while testing which may improve test scores.
