Developing a collaboration tool to give every student a voice in a classroom discussion
Résumé
In this paper we outline suggestions for a new prototype tool that is currently under development. This new tool will combine a powerful mathematic software and a student response system, which allows teachers to create a classroom culture where students can give explanations. It will shorten the time for collecting students' responses and offers possibilities to work with these responses afterwards. By conducting semi-structured interviews with teachers highly knowledgeable in using technology, we found out that they need new features for formative assessment to foster classroom discussions. These include monitoring and collecting students' work in a convenient way and using students' responses in varying follow-up activities in a classroom. With this tool, teachers could have the advantage of encouraging students to explain their thinking by giving each student a voice during classroom discussions by letting them write down their thoughts and sharing them easily in class.
