Feedback - or lack of it.

We all know the score on feedback and how important it is and why we should do it and how we can do it. So when I was sitting the Google Certified Educator Level 1 test I was struck by how the lack of feedback set me on edge. As you work through the test there is no indication of whether your response was correct or not. This is quite different to the Fundamental training modules on the certification site where the unit reviews give you that instant feedback.
It set me to thinking how often do we do this to our learners?

Google Certification

One thing about this role is that it makes you do stuff - like Google Certification. This was on my "to do" list but it kept getting pushed down the list by other things.
I got stuck in over the holidays and worked through the fundamental training for Level 1with the intention of sitting the 3 hour exam while hubby was on a fishing charter trip. But as with all good plans they quickly change. The fishing charter was cancelled and the 7 day deadline for sitting the exam was quickly disappearing. Grabbed the bull by the horns last Thursday after work and beavered away at it. And passed! Phew! Now for Level 2.
