This is the logon page. It is the same for teachers and students.
The first step for a teacher: Set up a class.
Box will open automatically, and can always be accessed by clicking “CLASS MANAGEMENT.”
Give your class a name (and a description if you wish), then click “Add Class.”
The second step for a teacher: Add students’ names and logon information.
After adding a student, click to add him/her to the school or to this class and the school.
This shows that I have now added 2 students to my class.
E=easy
M=medium difficulty
D=difficult
A=Advanced (coming soon)
Set the student’s Mastery Level.
Don’t forget to save your settings for each level/subject.
I have set up this student’s
‘Assessment and Study
Plan.’ I have assigned her
the level of ‘Not Mastered’
for every category, because I
know she needs work in all
areas. I could have also
imported her TABE scores,
which would have
automatically set her levels
for me. If she had already
demonstrated mastery in
certain areas, these would
now show as ‘+’ or
‘Mastered,’ and she wouldn’t
have to work on the lessons
in those areas.
Because my other student, Noah Lott, has demonstrated mastery of some of the
concepts,I will create an individualized plan for him which reflects this.
Because Noah has
demonstrated that
his language skills
are more advanced
than Anita’s, I have
advanced him to
level M for his
language lessons.
I have also
elevated Noah to
level M for his
Reading Study
Plan.
Notice the
“View Plan”
link
I can click on “View Plan” and print out a hard copy for Noah.
Now I’m going
to go back to the logon
screen, and logon as
student Noah Lott.
Noah can now choose which subject he wants to work on today.
Let’s go to math.
Notice that Noah does not have to
work through the lessons he has
already mastered. However, he
can review those lessons if he finds
that he needs to.
Let’s start with the Pretest for
Computation in Context.
This is question 1 of the pretest.
He answers the first question,
then clicks ‘Next.’
Noah doesn’t quite
understand how to find
the answer for question #2.
He continues with the quiz,
answering one question
at a time.
On question 5,
Noah misunderstood.
Instead of 19 cents tax,
he thought it said 19% tax.
He cannot find his answer
so he decides to
‘Ask A Question’
of the teacher.
He types his question and clicks ‘Send.’
He then clicks on the answer that is closest to his answer and continues the quiz.
When Noah finishes the quiz, he immediately sees his results.
Noah clicked ‘Continue.’
Because he passed the quiz,
he sees that
‘Computation in Context’
has been added to
the list of ‘Mastered Units.’
He no longer needs to
work on this item,
and can move on to topics
where he needs more work.
Next, Noah took the pretest on ‘Estimation,’ but didn’t do quite as well.
When he clicks ‘Continue,’ he is taken to the lessons
he needs to study and learn in order to master this concept.
Noah clicked on the
lesson for rounding.
As he works through the
interactive lesson, he
has to stop and
answer questions
before continuing.
Many of the
lesson questions
require Noah’s
interaction.
This is a sample
of another question
on Rounding.
This slide, and the next
2, demonstrate the
instructional aspect
of the lessons.
Each instructional point is
followed by an interactive
Question.
Also noticed the “speaker”
icon next to each chunk
of text. Students can
have the narrative
read aloud.
Noah has correctly dragged and dropped each rounded-number
answer into its correct answer space. Feedback, during the lessons,
is immediate.
If Noah answers
incorrectly during a lesson,
he is given additional
instruction and
another chance.
This is the last question
during Noah’s lesson
on rounding numbers.
Each lesson ends with
a “Checkpoint,” to
review the objectives
addressed during the
lesson.
Now it’s time for the Lesson Quiz.
Noah finishes the Lesson Quiz and is given immediate feedback,
in this case, letting him know that he has mastered this lesson.
Now I’m logging
back in as Noah’s
teacher.
I select the student
named ‘Noah.’
Clicking on the ‘Mathematics’
tab, I can see what
he has already Mastered.
By clicking on ‘Lesson Reports,’
I can see that how much time he
has spent on task,
and that he has mastered the
quiz on Rounding.
By clicking on Class Assessment, I can see all students. Only 2 have taken tests.
Noah has taken 5 pre-tests so far, and no post-tests. His average score on all
pre-tests is 85.4%, and he spent 36.5 minutes taking them.
By clicking
‘Total Time on Task,’
I see that Noah Lott
has spent a total of 3.4 hours
working on his pretests,
quizzes, and lessons.
The Student Assessment Report will give
you the most information for an
individual student’s test scores.
Here I can see how well Noah performed
on each test. I can also click on the
Questions link to see exactly how
Noah answered each question.
This is an example of the
feedback you will get per
question. Noah choose answer
choice D. The correct answer
is C. An explanation
for the correct answer is
also given.
By clicking on
‘Resource Management,’
I can view other Contemporary
printed resources that the
teacher may want to utilize
when assigning extra work
on a particular topic, or…
I can add my own,
teacher-created resources
to the list for future reference.
Content Review is another teacher tool. It allows you to view every test and
quiz question (over a thousand), as well as every lesson that the students may
be assigned. Just click on the Subject, the Level, and the Unit you wish to
view. For example, looking at Mathematics, Level M, Addition of Whole Numbers,
you can view subject tests, unit tests, lessons, and lesson quizzes.
As you view the test questions,
You will see the question,
the correct answer,
And a worked-out solution.
As you view the lessons,
you can work through the
same interactive exercises,
and receive the same
feedback, as a student who
has been assigned to do
the lesson.
