Where and how Scribo can help save time

Teachers use Scribo as an assistant, a resource, a partner in the process of teaching and learning.

Teachers are always flat out getting a job done. Here are some ways Scribo lightens the load.

Formative Assessment Ideas - just a few!

1. Get students writing with Scribo feedback support. In Google or Word Add-ins, Students have access to Scribo feedback and guidance as they write. You will see the advice Scribo is giving along the way. This feedback greatly reduces the busy work teachers get caught up in giving, multiple times to several students.

2. Set up an Activity Context that works across a unit of work or curriculum item. Writing an assignment can be an at-home event or in-class. Monitor both with Live Monitoring and check on student progress. Give feedback as writing progresses in class. Monitor student writing plans and scaffold completion.

3. Drop in to see any student's progress and writing Live – see what's happening, look for students at risk or falling behind the cohort. Look at the number of revisions it has taken students to get to where they are now.

4. Transform live writing insights into a class panel report giving you a deep dive into teachable moments, discussion points. Use collaboration time with students to live-explore examples of text from the class, with the class.

5. Encourage students to self-grade against the marking rubric. Teachers can offer rubric estimates back using the Rubric as a marking continuum rather than a destination.

Give students more ownership

1. Let students access to Scribo in late primary and secondary to profile and check their work before they hand it to you. Scribo - Scriblet supports a primary interface that simplifies access and feedback.

2. Always ask students to check their work in Scribo. Teachers can see the feedback that students receive from Scribo and if they have implemented advice. Always look for ways to have students engage in their own writing development.

3. Let students run writing checks for their work and work through suggested improvements. Teachers have full view of what Scribo is suggesting.

4. Let students grade themselves against the marking rubric. Students can estimate where they think they deserve grades. There are conversations that spring from this!

5. Let students see the version history of their text. Many times students get lost in versions and tinkering with text. Versions are saved every time student run a writing check.

Summative Assessment ideas

Create a writing question context, assign to the class and turn off Student Writing Check and keywords. Students have a cold writing environment to work in. Teachers can Live Monitor progress.

1. Teachers join classes to share grading loads.

2. Use online Rubric grading in Scribo.

3. Print students' writing reports when assessments are final.
