Lesson 7: How AI Sees Images

OVERVIEW FOR TEACHERS

Exit tickets are quick formative assessments completed at the end of class to check student understanding. These templates provide multiple options depending on your needs, time available, and assessment goals.

Time Required: 3-5 minutes

Purpose:

• Assess immediate understanding of key concepts
• Identify misconceptions to address in next lesson
• Gauge student engagement and interest
• Collect feedback on lesson effectiveness
• Document student progress

Usage Tips:

• Choose ONE exit ticket format per lesson (don't use all at once)
• Hand out tickets 5 minutes before class ends
• Collect at door as students leave
• Review before next class to identify patterns
• Use results to inform subsequent instruction

Which application do you think is most important? Why? What concerns do you have about any of these uses?

Reflection Prompt Set 3: Career Connections

Think About:

People who work with computer vision include: software engineers, data scientists, medical imaging specialists, AI researchers, robotics engineers, and more.

What are the benefits? What are the concerns? What questions would you ask before deciding? What rules would you want in place? Would you support or oppose this plan? Why?

Reflection Prompt Set 5: Creative Application

Challenge:

You've learned how AI recognizes patterns in images.

Reflect:

Imagine you could create ANY image recognition system. What would it do? Who would it help? What real-world problem would it solve? What challenges might you face building it?

TEACHER ANALYSIS GUIDE

How to Use Exit Ticket Data

Immediate Actions (review before next class):

1. Sort tickets into three piles: Solid Understanding / Partial Understanding / Needs Support
2. Note common misconceptions or confusion points
3. Identify students who need individual follow-up
4. Look for patterns in "still have questions" responses

Next Class Adjustments:

1. Start with brief review of commonly misunderstood concepts
2. Pair strong students with those who need support
3. Address frequently asked questions
4. Celebrate interesting insights students shared

Long-Term Data Use:

1. Track individual student progress across multiple exit tickets
2. Identify which lesson activities were most/least effective
3. Refine lesson plans based on common confusion points
4. Document evidence of learning for parent conferences or evaluations

SAMPLE GRADING RUBRICS

Option A: Completion Only (Low Stakes)

• ✓ Complete: All questions answered with effort
• ✓ Incomplete: Missing responses or minimal effort
• Purpose: Encourage honest reflection without grade pressure

Option B: Understanding Scale (Formative)

• 3 = Clear understanding demonstrated
• 2 = Partial understanding, some confusion
• 1 = Significant misunderstanding
• 0 = Not submitted or no effort
• Purpose: Track learning progress over time

Option C: No Grade (Pure Formative)

• Review for instructional purposes only
• Provide written feedback but no score
• Purpose: Encourage risk-taking and honest self-assessment

Recommendation: Use completion-only or no-grade approaches for exit tickets. These are learning tools, not evaluation instruments.

DIFFERENTIATION STRATEGIES

For Struggling Writers:

• Offer verbal exit ticket (record on phone)
• Provide sentence starters
• Allow drawing with brief labels
• Use emoji/checkbox formats

For ELL Students:

• Provide bilingual vocabulary list
• Allow responses in native language
• Use visual formats
• Pair with translation buddy

For Advanced Students:

• Add extension question requiring deeper analysis
• Ask them to create their own quiz question
• Request research question for homework follow-up
• Challenge them to find real-world example

For Students with IEPs:

• Adjust based on individual needs
• May need more time (collect next day)
• Alternative formats as specified
• Focus on one or two key questions

PRINTING AND ORGANIZATION TIPS

Efficient Printing:

• Print 4 per page on regular paper
• Cut with paper cutter (faster than scissors)
• Keep pre-cut stacks ready to go
• Prep 5-10 extras for absent students

Distribution:

• Pass out during last activity
• Tape to each desk before class
• Have students grab one as they enter for end of class
• Post QR code for digital version

Collection:

• Place basket at door
• Collect as students line up
• Have volunteers collect from rows
• Digital submissions auto-collect

Storage:

• File by date and class period
• Keep in lesson folder
• Scan or photograph for digital records
• Return to students periodically for reflection

Exit Tickets and Reflection Prompts

Remember: Exit tickets are tools for learning, not evaluation. Create a safe environment where students can honestly share confusion, ask questions, and reflect on their growth!
