Evaluation of the outcomes and impact for learners (summaries of feedback)
(with particular attention paid to the initial aims and objectives of the implementation plan and the key competencies developed)
.Summary of student feedback - Usage (max 200 words) Students usually used more than three times the "Sportello" integrating different kind of tools. Usually Facebook has been used for discussing with classmates about solutions received by teacher or for asking solutions. In order to show the teacher difficult passages in solving problem, Geogebra has been integrated during discussions.
.Summary of student feedback - Benefits (max 200 words) This kind of activity has been considered by students as:
- innovative
Effective (in particular respect the improvement of their math competences)
- useful
- stimulating
They feel more confident in subject areas in which they had difficulties and, also, in the ability to explain this difficulty and ask for support. This kind of activity helped them to increase the sense of responsibility in their learning process, in their self-confidence and capacities. They really appreciated the integration of digital tools with the possibility to interact one to one with the teacher.
For them it has been fundamental and very positive:
- the possibility to choose, for interacting with the teacher, tools that better fits with their needs.
-the possibility to contact the teacher and ask for questions outside scholastic timeshedule
.Summary of student feedback - Development of competencies (max 200 words) self-regulation
self-assessment
self-management
communication (reading and writing)
motivation and confidence
.Summary of student feedback - Supporting transition (max 200 words) For sure it helps in increasing students autonomy in organizing their study time and to get more responsible on their knowledge. This is a basic element in approaching university.
.Summary of student feedback - Challenges or barriers (max 200 words) In general they didn't put in evidence any particular problem. Some of them just said that, at the beginning, some time was needed for getting confident with a different modality of learning.
.Summary of student feedback - Improvements that can be made to the activity or the application (max 200 words) They would like to have a sort of automatization in the sharing of solutions/clarifications they receive by the teacher during the "Sportello" session in order to involve the other students.
.Summary of tutor observation - Usage (max 200 words) he teacher put in evidence that students that are more silent in class will use this system. They were confident with the use of different tools simultaneously on the basis of their needs.

Moreover the teacher suggests to add some more improvement in technological equipment (powered wifi and tablets to be used during lessons)
