Fun with the ToonDoo

ToonDoo was a lot of fun. My concept was exit slips. Exit slips are a WTL strategy that spurs the students to think and then write. It also provides feedback to the teacher with regard to her students. Students are to write on a piece of paper (or index card) either an answer to a question or a free writing about what they learned in class. It can be used as a teaching tool for the next day because the students share insights into what they learned and what they need to know. They may also let the teacher know what they thought of the lesson (i.e., boring, exciting, etc.). This would be useful in my math class. Often times we assume that our students have a deep understanding of concepts previously taught, but sometimes they forget and some claim they were never taught. In any event, this tool allows the teacher to review or revise those problem areas.
