Digital Feedback


  • I have used "Reward Tokens" in my my flipped class when a student did very well on a assessment or project. These "Reward Tokens" unlocked a game session in USATestPrep that gave them a fun game that reviewed the concept they just studied, while other students would have to do the review quiz and seminar. This motivated students to work harder on the original assignment, because they saw other students with a special code to skip the more traditional review. I would continue to use this method because students really seemed to enjoy the reward of hard work, even if they were still reviewing the material.

  • In the discussion boards, I have students answer the original question in a one paragraph essay, then they are required to comment on at least two of their peers. I use their peer feedback to help support understanding of the topic.  

  • Another way I would communicate is through Evernote: A friend showed me this just the other day, and when I saw it as an example for the digital feedback; I was sold. Here is an example of an email sent to a student about their project grade:


Mr. Smith,

Your presentation grade is recorded in the gradebook.

Please follow the link for your recorded message on the feedback of your project:
