How Did I Miss This?

We all know how important feedback is. We all know how important learning intentions and their associated success criteria are. So how did I miss putting these elements into my Cybersmart lessons? No excuses except to say that lessons are an hour long and time pressure is huge- just as all teachers experience all day - every day.
I had to get back to what I know works and have inserted these 2 elements into the Cybersmart lessons.
Learning intentions and success criteria really should be co-constructed - but there is that "time" word again.
Feedback and feedforward go hand in hand. For the purposes of the Cybersmart lessons, I am using Sheena Cameron's 2 medals and a mission, or 2 stars and wish for younger students.

Incorporating this feedback into each Cybersmart lesson will lead into quality commenting on blogs when students need to comment in a positive, thoughtful, helpful way.
The format for blog comments are...
Positive - something done well.
Thoughtful - a sentence to let us know you actually read/watched or listened to what they had to say.
Helpful - give some ideas for next time or ask a question you want to know more about.
