Looking at all the structure you build into your flip, I was wondering if you're aware of http://curatr.co.uk/index.php (no association)? It just made me think of you.

Students can retake the concept quizzes as many times as they want.  Mine are graded on a scale of 2-8, with a 6,7,8 being passing scores.  If they don't pass it, they have to make corrections on it and cannot retake it again until the next school day.  I usually have one version of the quiz for every day of the unit, so if the unit is 8 class days, I will have 8-9 versions of the quiz.

Thank you very much for responding! When you give your concept quizzes and if they get below a certain percentage (maybe 80%), do you have another quiz with different questions ready for them to take to be sure they master the skill? I was wondering how many different quiz versions I would need to make to ensure mastery? Thank you once again!!

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for your comment!  I don't use the quizzing feature on Edmodo.  All of my concept quizzes are done on paper and hand-graded so I can see their work as well.  The only thing I use Edmodo for is class communication, reminders, alerts, etc.  I do know several teachers use the Edmodo quizzing feature, but I'm not familiar enough with it to give you any advice :/. 

I would just play around with it and see what works for you and what you are looking for.  Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Thanks,

Crystal Kirch

Hi Crystal, First, I wanted to say thank you for everything you do and all of your great ideas and postings... I have been reading your blog comprehensively for the past month, and am very excited to flip my classroom... I will be incorporating your WSQs and TWRLs and FITCH!!! Love it all and thank you... I just have a question... I finally organized all of my units/concepts (paper and electronic), all of my online projects and activities to give to the kids, etc, and am ready to load assessment questions for my first concept in my first unit. I am using Edmodo and Google Docs, but I dont know which tool to upload all of the concept quizzes... Do I use Edmodo and use short answer option? Edmodo does not seem to randomize questions and I was wondering how you felt about that? Do you administer your summative assessments online? Are all of your concept quizzes that they must master before they move on uploaded to Edmodo?? Please help!! Thank you!!!!
