  Case: Not Enough Time in the Day
Mr. Johny often administers formative assessments to gain an understanding of what his students have learned and where they are in their learning processes, but can't find the time to analyze the data obtained from the assessments to effectively drive his instruction. His planning time is usually consumed with meetings and conferences. He also coaches basketball and doesn't get done with practice until 7:30. By the time he gets home, he is too tired to study data and determine where to go from that data. He feels that his planning time should be open for this. What could he do to become more effective?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There are actually several electronic platforms, apps, websites, etc. that Mr. Johny can use to collect data. I know that a lot of time can be spent grading and charting data, which can be extremely overwhelming. I use an app called Quick Key where students can bubble their answers on a generic sheet and the teacher can scan the sheet with an electronic device. This app will also store the data electronically by student, by question, and by class period so that teachers can effectively use the data and not spend as much time grading and formatting the data.

Comments: Other platforms that are extremely useful are Socrative, Polleverywhere, and Kahoot. Mimeo Votes are also useful in formatively assessing students and generating data that can easily be analyzed. All of these platforms take some additional planning up front, but definitely reduce the time analyzing the data.

Comments: Using technology to sort data is a great idea and a major time saver for busy teachers. Using this type of technology can help the teacher gain the data he needs to meet the academic needs of his students and become a more effective teacher. This can be accomplished without giving up more of his free time or classroom teaching time to sort data.
