During our Everyday Math lessons to reach a wider audience, and to make student learning the focus rather than teacher instruction, I decided to turn a lesson on looking at a US census population map into a STAIR lesson (Stand Alone Instructional Resource). I used the free Infuse Learning site to make a quiz by typing in the outlined question prompts for the EDM lesson and saving it. Next, students simply open the Infuse Learning site and log into the room using the room number (which is always the same when you make an account) and their name. While they are doing this, I "play" the quiz which activates on the student iPads. Once the quiz is activated students can begin working at their own pace. Use both the Infuse Learning quiz and their Student Reference Journals to see the census map (which you can take a picture of and it will appear next to each question on Infuse Learning). As students work through the quiz and talk with collaborate with each other I am able to circulate the room to see how students are progressing and answer any questions. I am also receiving updates on student progress on the teacher screen for Infuse Learning. On this results page I can see how everyone is doing, which questions they've answered and what they answered. I can then download the results or email them to myself. The email feature is a quick one click action. Infuse Learning has been helpful to not only create STAIR lessons but also for a quick open response check for understanding. It's made life easier to keep track of students progress and also allows me to adjust my lessons as needed.
