ExitTicket Makes Learning More Effective
The Exit Ticket is a well-known tool to many teachers, allowing them to discover what students have learned at the end of a lesson. A teacher can use them not just at the end of the day but at any point before students leave such as at recess, lunch, their next class, or a transition to another subject area. The concept is simple; students hand their teacher a “ticket” filled out with an answer to a question, a solution to a problem, or a response to what they have learned in order to make it possible to assess if students have understood subject matter and plan for the next lesson or unit of instruction. ExitTicket from EdStart, a company dedicated to making apps for educators, brings this process to the digital realm while improving it. It allows you to ask more questions more quickly and make quicker decisions with the feedback you receive.
ExitTicket aims to provide personalized instruction and targeted interventions by helping teachers track student understanding through constructive assessments. It is very different from the paper or index cards teachers formerly used, gathering real-time data and advanced performance metrics that range from measuring individual student performance up through an assessment of an entire district’s performance. Users can access the app from any computer, but it features mobile tech support that makes it ideal for use in the classroom at any time. It makes for more engaging student response, delivering instant feedback and performance information to both teachers and students to allow immediate intervention with the tap of a finger while tracking progress.
ExitTicket not only provides a personalized learning experience for every student in real time, it goes beyond just being a simple interactive student response system. It allows teachers not only to know exactly what every student is thinking, but to use that data to switch seamlessly between concepts that need more clarification and to quickly move on to the next course of study. There are no downloads, and you can use whatever tech device you wish, so data recovery issues will not detract from the app’s accessibility. You decide what you would like to know about students’ learning at the end of the lesson. The app enables you to write your own question or pose a problem on the Exit Ticket and decide whether students can see it, or you can take advantage of pre-designed activities to gather thoughtful student data. You can then opt to receive responses in an email report or as an online google spreadsheet. This way, there is no need to prep, and you can just select one in real time.
ExitTicket allows students and teachers to identify growth and improvement, while the student takes responsibility for his or her own education. It also reduces the time spent on grading since it lets teachers pre-set answers and tabulate student responses efficiently. In essence, ExitTicket allows everyone in the classroom to take ownership or his or her role in the learning process.
