30. Slide 31: Students on AFL... “It helps you stay on topic. We know what we are learning about and can find more information about it and what we are learning on and forget about everything else.” Year 6 student “Well we look for ways that we could improve it. Sometimes, like when we wrote our brochures, we had a matrix and we would highlight where we thought we were and then we would try and make it better.”Year 6 student “Definitely it helps... if you are finding information and it doesn't meet up with the success criteria you know not to put it in, rather than wasting your time doing it again.” Year 6 student
31. Slide 32: Students on ePortfolios... It is a lot quicker. It's on the Internet. You can see it quicker. Year 3 student Because you can actually write comments on it... Year 4 student I quite like the ones on the internet. Because then you can tell your grandparents or relatives over in a different country how to get in and see your work. Year 6 student They [mum and dad] think it is great and that they don't have to wait. Year 4 student
32. Slide 33: Students on Comments & Feedback... “It makes me feel like my parents know I have put a lot of effort into my work and I have really tried my best to show the best presentation I can, really getting focused. They can see that.”Year 6 student “I like getting feedback, definitely. I really do think it helps... see what I need to improve on really.” Year 6 student “It makes me feel proud of what I have done.” Year 3 student “Yes, because then you know what you are going to focus on and that.” Year 4 student “It makes me think that I have done a good job and that my Mum and Dad are impressed with my learning.” Year 4 student
