Distinguish the use of Google Docs and padlet

Google Docs:

Edit the same document
Highlight and improve someone else's work while being aware who did so
Presented in a neat way

Padlet:

Cannot edit each other's comments
To arrange someone else's work you need to add a new post
Presented in a scattered way

SMAR model - Loci

The following is an SMAR model I tried to design with the topic of Loci:

Name of the assessment: Loci

• Substitution → Representing Loci on GeoGebra

• Augmentation → Students upload their own locus in the form of a photo or a video on a wikispace so other students can comment on each other’s work.

• Modification → Act out a locus (people maths) since loci can be dynamic, students can upload a video of themselves acting it out.

• Redefinition → Loci in real life

SMAR model example on Fractions

The following is an example of an SMAR model that I could relate to in my classroom:

Lesson: Learning Fractions

Original Assignment: Show understanding of fractions on a worksheet by coloring in blocks.

• Substitution: Use an Excel Worksheet to let students “color in” the blocks.
• Augmentation: Use Google Sheet to let students “color in” the blocks, where the teacher can offer feedback directly on Google Sheet.
• Modification: Use Google Sheet and direct students to online examples and supplementary learning materials for areas that they might struggle with.
• Redefinition: Use a Fractions App instead (here’s a handful of examples for iOS devices).
