Technology for Feedback
Simple Suggestions for Getting & Recieving Student Feedback
"The most disengaged students in class are often the ones who receive the least feedback and direction" - Jane Pollock
"When we teach disengaged students useful ways to request feedback from peers, teachers, or even themselves, they become more involved in class activities and in their own learning." Jane Pollock
