Assessments

Our growing access to technology and innovative practices have now provided teachers with the ability to better understand what students know via digital assessments. There are a number of options that include both formative and summative options. Below represents just a few options for you to consider when looking at how to assess your students digitally.

Why consider using technology to assist with assessments. Most importantly, t allows more immediate feedback to both the teacher and the students. No longer do students need to wait for the results to know whether or not they are on track with understanding. Quite often, students know immediately their results. Likewise, teachers can also view student scores and better adjust instruction at that moment vs. the following day or later. Fundamentally, it can save teachers time. No more photocopying tests and quizzes and carrying them around to be graded. If you have any questions about getting started, please contact your media specialist or a member of our Technology Integration team to provide assistance.
