Summary

While moving to an online format, I struggled with how to maintain the integrity of using multiple-choice as a tool for student learning versus making it into an exam. During the conversion, I realized that having a teaching style that focuses on "cheaters" and how to catch them is not conducive to closing equity gaps. Towards the end, I talk in detail about what I did to make sure that I am using my multiple-choice questions the way I had originally intended.

Two Teachers Talking™ Tony Silva and Charles Wiz Teachers know that when classes are done, the beer has been poured, and teachers gather around the table, the talk turns to...teaching. Great (and not so great ideas) are thrown around, argued, praised, and ridiculed. What's been missing is a microphone on the table. Until now. If you're a teacher, and especially if you're teaching in Japan, have a listen. Then let us know what you think.
