Measuring Student Learning -- Labeling & Explaining with Skitch (DCMS 10.20.15)

1. Take Attendance!

I'm not loving how the attendance Google Sheet is working as a link here, so remember that you can always star a file so that it appears in the STARRED DRIVE in Google Drive!

Wrap Up from Oct. 6, 2015, Tuesday Tech Day -- Who’s used Padlet, and how did it go?

(Explorers -- Piktochart, Part 2 -- A brief look at blocks in the Piktochart templates and then WORK TIME!!! Bring your laptops to the conference room). Click here for the agenda.




2. Measuring Student Learning (bring your iPads

 

Our Objective today is to learn or review Skitch so it is available to us in our classrooms as a tool to measure student learning.

Skitch is an iPad app (available for Mac, also) that allows students to label and explain on an image using arrows, text, and drawing.

Today, we’re going to learn basic maneuvers in Skitch by labeling TLAP hooks on a picture from our district TLAP inservice.





3. Quick Skitch Demo

Let’s look at the tools in Skitch by annotating a picture together! We’ll identify the TLAP hooks we see in play in this picture from our district TLAP inservice:

4. Your Turn!

Go find a folder titled Skitch Practice Photos TLAP in your Shared Drive in Google Drive. Pick ONE photo you’d like to work with and send it into Skitch by using the 3 dot menu (right side) and choosing Open In and Open In. Choose Skitch.

Use the list of TLAP hooks provided and decide which 2-3 hooks you see at use in the picture. Use arrows & text to label these hooks.




5. Publish it!

When you’re finished annotating your image in Skitch, use the Share box (box with arrow out; upper right) and then the Photos icon to send your Skitch image to your camera roll.

Click here to get to our DCMS Skitch Padlet wall and follow the instructions to upload your Skitch image to the wall!
