Blue Harvest Feedback


I just stumbled across this resource, but I think it has tremendous potential.  It’s called Blue Harvest Feedback (www.blueharvestfeedback.com).  The basic premise behind this site is to provide teachers with an easy way to give feedback to students.  The cool thing about this website is that it allows teachers to leave feedback in written, audio, or video format.  In addition, teachers can upload the standards their class is connected to and give students specific feedback about the standard(s) the assessment addressed. In addition, both teachers and students can upload and share files easily and communicate through text message and email features.  Finally, the site allows 24/7 student and parent access.  The only downside to this resource is that while free for the first year, there is a $36 fee per year after that.
