Feedback plays a crucial role in educational settings, enabling both teachers and students to grow and develop. Pertuz emphasized the need for continuous feedback to become better educators and learners. By using tools like Mote, educators can provide timely and meaningful feedback, enhancing the educational experience.
Pineapple Charts represent a unique approach to peer learning and feedback. Historically, pineapples were a symbol of generosity and wealth. Similarly, Pineapple Charts invite fellow educators to observe and share teaching experiences, fostering a culture of openness and collaboration.
To create a Pineapple Chart, teachers post their teaching schedules on a shared platform, inviting others to observe their classes. This practice not only allows educators to showcase their teaching methods but also provides opportunities for constructive feedback from peers.
Mote, a versatile voice recording tool, can be seamlessly integrated with Google Forms to enhance feedback processes. By utilizing Mote, educators can provide voice feedback, making the feedback experience more personalized and impactful for students.
1. Create a Google Form for collecting feedback.
2. Integrate Mote to allow voice responses.
3. Use Autocrat to automate feedback distribution.
4. Analyze feedback to make informed teaching adjustments.
When engaging in peer feedback, it's important to be conscious of the context and dynamics between educators. Pertuz highlighted the difference between peer feedback and administrative observations, emphasizing the need for a supportive and non-judgmental approach.
• Establish clear objectives for the feedback session.
• Maintain a respectful and constructive tone.
• Focus on specific and actionable suggestions.
• Encourage reciprocal feedback to foster mutual growth.
