Many teachers have been wrestling with how to have students show their work during distance learning. Of course, students can certainly upload a photo of their paper/pencil work into Schoology. But if you are looking for ways to view live student work in the moment, here are a few strategies to consider.
Desmos
The sketch feature in Desmos is a great way to have students who their work. Desmos has ready-made whiteboards for capture student work which can be used as-is or embedded into your own activities. Teachers might also use the sketch feature in assignments or assessments like this:
Google Jamboard is a virtual whiteboard students can write on individually or collaboratively. Students can then share a link with you to let you view their work. Here is an example of an individual Jamboard.
Mathcasts
Mathcasts are screen recordings of a student's written work and voice as they solve a math problem/task and explain their thinking. I have found mathcasts to be one of the best formative assessment tools I have ever used in my own classroom, hands down.
One tool for viewing all student work in the moment is to share a Google Slides with your class with a separate slide for each student. Students can then use the 'scribble' tool to write on their slide and show their work to solve the problem. View this video to see how use Google Slides to capture student work.
While you can still make individual class codes for an activity, Desmos now allows you to create classes to assign activities to the same group of students throughout a school term. Learn more about this new feature at learn.desmos.com/manage-classes.
