Three Components of Digital Feedback
It used to be commonplace for teachers to give written feedback to students on the paper assignments that they turned in. However, as districts moved to digital grade books and student information systems, much of this feedback faded away. While much of this feedback is given to students in other forms, there are common practices among feedback practices. Feedback to students is a critical part of the learning process, as it closes the information processing loop, and it allows students to learn from the mistakes and problems that they make during learning the learning process. Solid and effective feedback must have three major components for it to be useful and effective for students: specific, articulable, and actionable. These three components make feedback given to students on daily assignments and assessments useful to allow them to take corrective action in the learning process.
