I tried using some tech this week with our spelling tests by having the students take their spelling tests on Google Classroom. We will give this a few weeks to see if this is an effective way to test. The advantage–students get their scores immediately. The disadvantage–you have to do a little bit of work to find those scores. Here’s a little tutorial on how to find them!
- Have your child log in to his/her google account (this is the account they use daily in school–he/she knows the username and password).
- Go to my blog
- Click on the google classroom link.
- The Spelling Test can be found as an assignment (every assignment we do is listed here)
- Click on the Assignment
- You will see this week’s spelling test has been returned and the grade is listed in the corner!
- The grade is not calculated as a percentage, but here’s a reference:
15/15 | 100% |
14/15 | 93% |
13/15 | 87% |
12/15 | 80% |
11/15 | 73% |
10/15 | 67% |
