Exit tickets
Also known as: exit slips, exit cards, exam wrappers, cognitive wrappers
An exit ticket requires students to respond to a few key questions posed at the end of a class, unit of work or summative assessment. Questions can be modified to focus the results around well being and student welfare. Exit tickets help students reflect on what they have learned, review their performance and express what or how they are thinking about the new information. Exit tickets assist teachers to analyse the impact of individual and whole cohort learning.

How to use with ICT
Create exit tickets, well being/welfare check in or cognitive wrappers using Google or Microsoft Forms and share with students through email, Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams. These platforms allow teachers to collect and access data analytics.
Single computer
Use a printed paper ticket such as the Microsoft Word Exit Ticket Template and collate results on a projected screen in real time, using a simple spreadsheet to generate an on-screen diagram. Use one computer with a Google Form. Click on the settings cog and untick 'collect email addresses'. Check that the 'limit to 1 response' option is unticked. Use one computer with a Microsoft form and click on the share tab to change Send and collect responses to 'Anyone with the link can respond'. Then click on the three dots and choose settings to check that 'one response per person' is unticked.

Personalised learning
Disability, Learning and Support
When planning to use technology in the classroom it is important to consider the diversity of your learners. Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a framework to guide the design of learning environments that are accessible and effective for all. For UDL guidelines, information and additional materials, visit the CAST website.
Many students require technology as an adjustment to support their access to learning. Adjustments (NESA) are actions taken that enable a student with disability and additional learning needs to access syllabus outcomes and content on the same basis as their peers. Enrol in the Personalised learning with technology online course to help you make more informed decisions regarding technology.
For a range of simple, how-to videos visit the Assistive Technology page on the Disability, Learning and Support website. Resources are organised into four sections; Literacy and Learning, Vision, Hearing, Physical and Motor Skills.
High potential and gifted learning and support
When planning to use technology in the classroom it is important to consider the full range of abilities of all learners. High potential and gifted learners may require additional adjustments and deliberate talent development. These strategies include differentiation, grouping, enrichment and advanced learning pathways so students can be engaged, grow and achieve their personal best.
Assessing and identifying high potential and gifted learners will help teachers decide which students may benefit from extension and additional challenge. Effective strategies and contributors to achievement for high potential and gifted learners helps teachers to identify and target areas for growth and improvement.
For further support and advice about how to tailor learning for high potential and gifted students from all backgrounds, visit the High Potential and Gifted Education web section, High Potential and Gifted Education Policy or attend one of the professional learning courses on offer.
