I started writing for the BookWidgets Teacher blog at its very beginning. My posts (300+) cover just about everything related to edtech and how to pedagogically use it in the classroom. The blog has amassed a critical following, reaching up to 300k monthly readers. Besides nourishing the BookWidgets Blog and teacher community, I teach at the PXL University College - Belgium. My subject, “Digital Learning” is about teaching teachers to teach more efficiently with technology. My area of expertise is providing teachers with life-saver hacks about optimally implementing and using educational technology to create digital and hybrid teaching environments.

Session description

As an educational technology expert, I’ve developed a digital and personalized feedback loop any teacher can use to provide continued feedback to students in the most efficient way possible. This way, students keep growing in their learning and are engaged with your digital lesson materials and feedback.

Purpose & objective

As an educational technology expert, I’ve developed a digital and personalized feedback loop any teacher can use to provide continued feedback to students the most efficient way possible. This way, students keep growing in their learning and are engaged with your digital lesson materials and feedback.

In this session, teachers learn the four steps to take to build this efficient continuing feedback loop that will save them time. It's a process that can be implemented throughout the entire school as all teachers teaching all courses can get this to work in their classrooms.

The four (or five) steps of the feedback loop: 1. Digital content creation -2. Digital integration through an LMS (of the school's choice) - 3. Digital (real-time) monitoring to provide instant feedback - 4. A digital reporting dashboard to review and provide personalized feedback - 5. Keep the feedback loop alive.

I'll provide the framework for success, giving attendees an open toolbox with educational tools they need/ or already use to make this digital feedback loop.

Outline

In this 30-minute presentation (Presentation Deck, videos, and audience interaction) of the feedback loop model, I'll deliver the 4 steps:

1. Digital content creation: Before you can provide digital feedback, teachers need to create digital learning materials. I'll show the best content creation tools out there that are easy to integrate (step 2) and review (step 4). I'll provide a toolbox so schools can stick with what they already use and learn about more handy tools throughout the educational technology universe. My content creation tool library always focuses on tools that can digitize traditional but effective learning strategies that are often done on paper. (BookWidgets, Book Creator, EdPuzzle, Genially, Formative, and more!)

2. Digital integration through an LMS (of the school's choice)
To create an ongoing feedback loop, teachers need to integrate their digital learning materials into a known learning environment. I'll show the benefits of using tools that have built such integrations with learning management systems schools use (Google Classroom, MS Teams, Schoology, Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, Brightspace, itslearning, ...). Step 2 is crucial as integrations enhance the teacher's lesson creation experience (step 1) and the student's experience as everything is kept in their trusted learning management environment.

3. Digital (real-time) monitoring to provide instant feedback (interactive element)
Many tools have real-time monitoring dashboards that give teachers live insights into their students' learning progress and processes. I show how you can use this data to provide feedback at the right time when your students need it the most. To show this, I'm sharing a digital activity the audience has to complete (QR code). At the same time, I'll share my live monitoring dashboard and provide feedback to teachers in the audience who need some help with the assignment.

4. A digital reporting dashboard to review and provide personalized feedback
Here, I'll show how you can grade or review students' work in a very efficient way, leaving you time to provide personalized student feedback by adding comments in text and audio. I'll show this in BookWidgets but highlight some alternative tools that have similar features. This is the part where teachers will save time. Reviewing student work can be done more efficiently, and I'll share my insightful approach.

Keep the feedback loop alive.
When your students receive the feedback, the loop starts over again. I'll show how students can adapt, try again on the same digital lesson content, using your feedback, OR they can bring your feedback into new activities.
