Hello Everyone,

I think the most powerful aspect of GFE apps are they empower teachers to solve in class issues using technology. Let me take for example the rather tedious process of item analysis. This is where a teacher takes a formative, diagnostic or summative assessments and then analyses it based on what the assessment covers. For example a teacher could give a formative math quiz on patterns, within the quiz they could be looking at growing or reducing patters and even more than could be look at shape, colour or position.

Once the students have finished this quiz is it incredibly important the teacher understand which aspect the student is strong and which they need help in. Here is where Google for education Apps can truly empower you. If you create the quiz in google forms, you can download the results to a .csv file, then copy / paste it into a google sheet to complete the analysis. This is now the Googlefication of Item Analysis. Please see the video below for a more detailed explanation.

Given Covid has removed most of our students from the classroom for an extended period of time, they may need some "help" remembering the basics of ELA before coming back in September. I have created a short series of videos to help students remember those concepts they all know, but likely need to be reminded of. Take a look:
