Feedback is a very important tool for assessment, and it has a significant impact on student achievement (0.7 effect size, Hattie). However, students need to know HOW to use that feedback to improve their work, and ultimately their success as a student. This is where Floop comes in!
"Floop is a web app that saves teachers time and helps students see the value in feedback.
Feedback is the #1 driver of student learning. Help create the three conditions for transformational feedback.
Actionable Information
Students get the feedback they need, when they need it. Give feedback 4x faster than traditional methods with a digital dropbox and comment banks.
Agency to Act
Students engage with their feedback while it's still relevant. Help students act on feedback through conversations and resubmissions.
Feedback Literacy
Students learn how to use feedback to grow. Empower students to give feedback through guided peer review. Coach along the way with feedback read receipts."
