In addition to this, I should mention a variation on an idea that a teacher friend suggested to me. My variation on his idea is to go around and give the verbal feedback, but get the student to write (type) the feedback themselves. This is easier on paper, or if I am not worried about the students commenting on their own work, using their own accounts, however I think a work around could work. Perhaps I could have students type their feedback on my laptop. Not always feasible, but it's an option. Another option would be to have them type their feedback, then I just sign my name on it. I would also have to organise a way to be able to get around all of the students. If I can get students used to peer feedback, then I could have the students do that (which is normal practise), then just sign off with one or two brief comments. Next year will be an experiment...especially with a Y5 & 6 class.

Formative Feedback and Scaffolding
I noticed that while I was giving plenty of feedback verbally, I wasn't getting time to give recorded feedback. My thoughts are verbalised in this video.
