Practice Sets
What are Practice Sets?
Practice questions you create - you have the choice to use different question types. Google's AI function will provide suggestions/hints for students/ākonga who need more help to answer the questions and immediate feedback is given. Teachers get detailed information on where each student is at and class trends for the practice set.
Why would you use them?
'While every student learns in their own way, practice and specific feedback can help them learn more effectively.
Assignments can be completed with a variety of tools for input, such as a mouse, stylus, touchpad, or math keyboard depending on how a student works best.
With practice sets, educators can more easily get insight into which concepts need more instruction time and when to move on, giving them performance trends and insights to shape future lesson plans'.
Also - you can save yourself a ton of time! Enough said..
