Evaluate 3.1.1 – Differentiation Quest

Provide sample data from student results for a course within your field. The data can be entirely theoretical and written out in text form.

Upon completion of the data, discuss the method used to group students based on abilities, strategies utilized to examine student performance, and areas requiring modification of instruction.

In my face to face classroom I recently started using Kahoot! an online gaming system to help review for assessments.  What I like about this online program is that data it can instantly deliver to me.  Students gain points not only for correct answers but how fast they answer the questions as well.

Image one:
Shows the Kahoot, the date, number of students, number of questions and the class averages. This gives me an idea of how the class di overall.




Image Two:

Shows students total scores, how many questions they got right and how many they got wrong total. I can see how students did and can place them in groups based on their knowledge if I use this as a pretest.



Image Three:
This image breaks downs each student by question. It tells me what answer choice that student picked and how many points (effectively telling me how fast they answered the question) .  By knowing what questions students got wrong or struggled with (lesser points) I can help tailor their learning for what they need. I can steer them towards the content the need to review.



Fourth Image 
The fourth image shows each question individually - it breaks down how each student did after the question information.  This helps me ensure that the questions are valid. When I am doing a Kahoot for review if less than 50% of the students get a question right I often look at how the question is asked or I will ask myself did I cover this material enough? I will then structure what points I try to hit one more time based on these stats.


I just started using Kahoot this year in my face to face classroom and hope to use it in my courses in the spring for reviews. This will help me deliver individual data to students to help them figure out what parts of the material they are not really getting.
