STEP 6: RE-QUIZ YOUR STUDENTS AFTER RETEACH USING THE DIGITAL QUIZ – MANUAL RECORDING METHOD
This is the method that should be used for re-quizzes that you’ve created in the Fill system that are free response, not multiple choice. In this re-quiz method, students will access the re-quiz on their devices by inputting a quiz code that you give them. They will answer the re-quiz on paper and hand in their responses to be looked at by the teacher.
1. GENERATE A QUIZ CODE FOR STUDENTS TO ACCESS THE QUIZ WITH
The process here is the same as with the first quiz you gave, but you will be giving students a quiz code for the second version of the quiz instead of the first.
Within Fill, click the UNITS link in the upper left. Click the Progress Bar of the course the quiz is in. Click the Progress Bar of the unit the quiz is in. Then click the Fill Button of the lesson the quiz is in. Click Manage Quizzes. Then click Hand Out for the quiz that you would like students to take, which in our example is the second quiz. This will take you to a page with a quiz code displayed. To have students access the quiz on their devices, you will have them insert that code into the quiz code entry area when they log in. This quiz code is only active for 10 minutes. If you want to push this quiz out to other students later in the day, you will need to repeat this process to get a different quiz code.
2. GIVE THE QUIZ
As with the first quiz, this is one of the most important steps to do right. Based on experience, it is best to formally set aside 2-3 minutes in class to have students take the quiz in silence. Have students clear their desks, if possible. The more formal it is, the better results you are going to get out of this program. This, more than any other element, has the strongest effect on how much everyone gets out of Fill. This stresses the importance of the quiz and lets students spend some focused time engaging in the task.
Now that the stage is set, have students take out their devices and something to write with. Either hand out blank paper or have students take it out themselves. Important: Have students put their name, their teacher’s name, and their class section at the top of their paper. The manual recorcing of mastery will be done by teacher and class period, so knowing this information is necessary. Once students are ready, communicate the quiz code to them by projecting it, writing it on the board, or stating it verbally. Instruct students to log in to Fill and insert the quiz code into the quiz code entry area. This will display the quiz on their screen. Instruct them to respond to the quiz on the blank paper and hand it in when they are finished. Students should not select an answer choice and should not click the Submit button since this is not a multiple choice question and will not be graded automatically. You will be recording student mastery later in our mastery recording tool.
3. RECORD THE RESULTS
The process here is basically the same as the first, although you will only be recording results for students who took the re-quiz instead of all. Here’s how:
After the quiz, go through the student response papers and first sort them into piles based on who their teacher is, one pile for each teacher. Then, for each teacher pile, sort the papers into smaller piles based on what class section the student is in with that teacher. Finally, for each class section pile, sort each paper into one of two piles: those that show mastery and those that don’t. Now let’s record this information in the system. For each class section:
Within Fill, click the UNITS link in the upper left. Then click on the progress bar of the course the quiz is in. Then click on the progress bar of the unit the quiz is in. Then click on the Fill button of the lesson the quiz is in. Click Manage Quizzes. Then click Grade Manually for the quiz you would like to record the results for. Click on the progress bar for the class section that you want to enter the grades for. You will be taken to the quiz recording screen. There will be three columns: PASS, FAIL, and ABSENT/LEAVE RECORD UNCHANGE. For each student in the pile, change their result to either FAIL or PASS based on whether or not their quiz response shows evidence of mastery. Leaving the rest of the students marked as ABSENT/LEAVE RECORD UNCHANGED ensures that this grading round doesn’t afect their previous results. Finally, click Grade. The results are now recorded and will be reflected in all relevant progress bars.
Repeat this process for each of the other class sections.
