Online grading tools- Chalk

 Hello and a very good day readers. As we learn in our previous lesson which using excel to make a spreadsheet, we were instructed to make a review for online marking tools. Out of all that I have looked at, Chalk standout the most. 





Chalk is a multipurpose tool for teachers to able to organize, plan, create timetables, and most importantly, mark students. Chalk is also an integrated system which means it will always be able to ensure and upgrade itself to ease the duty of teachers and learning of students. 

One major benefit of using Chalk is, it is very versatile to a teachers' needs. As it can follow the teachers' input of standards, the time taken compared to doing it manually is much shorter. Plus, the whole program is very clean and aesthetically pleasing. By this, teachers will not feel the program looks outdated or even too messy to understand. As stated above, Chalk is a multi-purpose program to help teachers and students. With timetable maker, great marking system, and easy-to-use features, just make it much better for the future of education. Other than that, aside from being able to use it on computers, users can also use it on their mobile devices such as personal laptops, tablets, and even mobile phones. As currently, the mobile app is still in the beta phase, it still functions well.  




In addition, Chalk is also student-friendly. Students could also download the app on their mobile devices by using their student account. Checking their marks would also be much faster and convenient. Plus, parents are also able to check on their children to make sure of their tasks and assignments.

To sign up for the program, the user must search for https://www.chalk.com/ on their search bar. And then, click on the first choice.




Next, click login then sign up using your account; teacher, student, etc, of choice. And after finishing all of the setup needed, you will be presented with these pages.




From this, teachers can just continue to personalize by following their own timetable, subject of teaching, and etc.

Lastly, I hope that this will be somewhat helpful to new or even senior teachers. Even for someone fairly new to all the varieties of marking tools, Chalk seems to be one of the best and effective in my opinion. Thank you and have a great day :)

Instructional Design Models (ADDIE vs ID4T)

Image
  As we learn instructional design in our second week of class, we were required to compare two instructional design models, which is ID4T to any other model. As for me, I pick the ADDIE model as a comparison to ID4T. ADDIE The ADDIE model is one of the most famous types of model in instructional design. This model retained a five step approach, which is also much more detailed in its' subset. The five steps are Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate formed the name, ADDIE. ID4T ID4T or Instructional Design For Teachers is also a model for instructional designs. The model is split into nine processes. The creator Carr-Chellman suggests in this model for educators to be “creative with your activities/media, test your instruction, revise, do instructional design all the time”. Comparison between ID4T & ADDIE model ID4T ADDIE Nine steps ·          Setting goal ·     ...

Flipped Classroom - YouTube

Image
 Assalamualaikum and a very good day to all readers. As it has been 8 weeks of learning, there is so much that I have learned. In this week's lesson, we were tasked to write our opinion on the way or platform for the flipped classroom. The one that I have chosen is YouTube. YouTube is not something new for anyone anymore. The application is useful for anyone to use to watch videos of learning, fun, lifestyle, foods, and, etc. As a student, we mainly use YouTube as a platform for learning. Since the start of online distance learning, YouTube was one of the main platforms for lecturers to post their videos of lectures and teaching. As the video is posted on YouTube, it makes learning so much easier as some of us students have internet connection problems. By this, we are able to watch it any other time when our connection is much more stable. Aside from that, lecturers have also linked a video from YouTube itself as additional materials for us to look at. As YouTube is a massive plat...

Universal Design for Learning Classroom - Flipped Learning

Image
 Assalamualaikum and a very good day readers. Currently, right now I am writing on week 9 of our lesson. For this week, we learned on UDL or Universal Design for Learning, where this topic focuses on the flexibility of learning for all various needs of students. In my personal teaching approach for my classroom, I would prefer to use flipped learning to ease my students. As mathematics would not be the easiest for all students, I think that applying flipped learning will let students feel much easier at learning this subject. This is because flipped learning allows students to read and understand a certain topic first before attending class. Hence, allowing them to be prepared for what we would learn during class. In addition, letting students read on a certain topic first, will allow teachers to know which topics or chapters that is the hardest for them. By that, teachers could focus more on certain topics with the students, thus, helping each of the students to understand that to...
