 AI Practice for Teacher Educators Day 21: Exploring AI for Real-Time Feedback



Leveraging AI for Immediate Insights

AI tools designed for real-time feedback can transform the classroom by providing instant insights into student understanding, participation, and progress. Today, we explore how to effectively integrate these tools into your teaching practices to enhance learning outcomes.

Why Use AI for Real-Time Feedback?

  1. Immediate Intervention:

    • Identify gaps in understanding as they arise and address them promptly.

  2. Enhanced Engagement:

    • Students receive instant, actionable feedback, keeping them motivated.

  3. Data-Driven Adjustments:

    • Adapt your teaching strategies in response to live data.

  4. Time Efficiency:

    • Automates the feedback process, saving time for deeper instructional activities.

AI Tools for Real-Time Feedback

  1. Kahoot!:

    • Provides instant quiz results to gauge student understanding.

  2. Mentimeter:

    • Engages students with real-time polls and quizzes, generating live feedback.

  3. Classkick:

    • Allows teachers to view and comment on student work as it happens.

  4. GoGuardian:

    • Monitors student activity during digital lessons to ensure focus and engagement.

  5. EdPuzzle:

    • Embeds interactive questions in videos and provides instant feedback on student responses.

Practical Activity: Implement a Real-Time Feedback Tool

  1. Choose a Lesson Objective:

    • Identify a concept or skill where immediate feedback would be most beneficial (e.g., solving equations, grammar practice).

  2. Select a Tool:

    • Example: Use Kahoot! to assess understanding of new vocabulary.

    • Example: Use Classkick to provide live guidance on math problems.

  3. Run the Activity:

    • Introduce the tool, conduct the activity, and observe student engagement and understanding.

  4. Analyze Results:

    • Review the feedback data to identify trends and plan follow-up instruction.

Sample Workflow

Lesson: Identifying Main Ideas (Middle School English)

  • Tool: Mentimeter

  • Process:

    1. Create a poll with multiple-choice and open-ended questions about a reading passage.

    2. Students respond in real time, with results displayed live.

    3. Discuss the responses as a class to clarify misconceptions and highlight correct answers.

Reflection Questions

  • How did the real-time feedback tool impact student understanding and engagement?

  • What adjustments could you make to improve the activity?

Handy Tip: Foster a Growth Mindset

  • Use real-time feedback to celebrate progress and encourage students to view mistakes as opportunities to learn.

Next Steps

  • Resource Suggestion: Explore the article "Using Real-Time Feedback in Education" by Edutopia for more insights.

  • Prepare for Day 22: AI for Gamified Learning. Reflect on how real-time feedback could integrate with game-based strategies.
