The Canvas assessment was fun to create, but difficult to administer. We had learned about an alternative assessment tool called "Mentormob". I was quite excited about using this tool for a unit on Roman Numerals that my honors students were going to do. I thought that involving digital media would make the unit much more exciting with videos, viewing different website, and perhaps playing games. So, I spent several hours creating my first playlist using Mentormob and thinglink. The final project had 5 steps on a playlist with a quiz at the end. It was visually appealing and the students seemed excited to begin.
Once students began accessing the Mentormob playlist, I noticed that they were all quickly on the last step. I told them to go back to step one and follow the links. However, the district had blocked Thinglink from the students, and I wasn't aware of this since my student view showed all of the original links. Unfortunately, that meant that I had to pull my students off the site and spend fifteen minutes, while they were playing math games, recreating the playlist as seperate links on a new module section. The new experience did not have the same visual appeal, but I had to put it together very quickly. It appears below.
Fortunately, I still believe the students had a positive experience with the module. I had them submit a paragraph describing providing feedback on the experience and then take a quiz on the content.
