Students can use Ziplet without an account – Learn more
Whether you're new to Ziplet or an experienced user, this guide will help you transform student feedback into actionable strategies for better outcomes.
This simple guide breaks down, step by step, what teachers can do with their Ziplet data to improve student outcomes in their classrooms.
Click on your Class and find the question you'd like to analyze (this could be under Live, Scheduled, Planned, or Closed depending on its status).
Click on the question and you'll see the response data.
Ziplet enables you to capture both quantitative and qualitative student data, depending on the response type(s) you chose.
Review the responses to find common themes, like areas of confusion or satisfaction. You may be able to see word clouds or bar charts to help you identify general student sentiment.
Find any individual responses that highlight a specific challenge or need. If you turned off anonymous responses, you'll be able to identify exactly which students may require different attention to the rest of your class.
Using a document, digital whiteboard, or favorite notebook, take note of any themes, positive comments, or areas for improvement.
You can use this document to track aspects of your practice, classroom environment, and support offering to change or maintain. It’s also a handy way to track progress over time.
Reflect on the themes, strengths, and issues that arose in your analysis. Consider what adjustments you can make in your teaching style, learning content, and the classroom environment to both support the positives and address the improvement areas.
Three questions might help:
Before taking any action, discuss the key themes with your colleagues. Getting a fresh perspective and drawing on the expertise of your network will help you take a more effective approach to addressing the feedback.
By working together, teachers can save time and create consistent approaches that lead to better outcomes for both students and the school.
Your reflection from the previous step should provide clear direction on which aspects to prioritize as you begin making changes based on student feedback.
Depending on the tasks that arise from your observations, you may like to write down an action plan or set SMART goals.
One of the great things about Ziplet is that it shows your students that they have agency over their education. Acknowledging that you’ve considered their feedback is important both to encourage greater participation and help students feel supported.
Here are some ideas for discussing feedback with your class:
Tracking how your actions improve student outcomes over time is arguably the most rewarding part about using Ziplet.
You can track responses by keeping a diary in the method you chose in Step 1.
You can also use the filter by round feature in Ziplet to compare responses to the same question over time. This is a fantastic way for you and your students to see how they have progressed during the term or year.
How you collect and use student responses is really up to you, but one thing we love about Ziplet is how fast and easy it is.
You can send questions to your students in 30 seconds and use the scheduling and repeat question features to be even smarter with your time.
The more you use Ziplet, the more you’ll learn how you and your students can benefit and find your own unique way of working. But remember, taking the time to reflect and act on the responses from your students is how you’ll be able to turn student check-ins into real-world benefits.
