Class Description: Students will explore different options for assessing students and providing feedback in the digital age. We’ll explore mostly formative assessment tips and tools and also creative ways that you can provide individualized feedback to students based about projects and assignments. Additionally, we will look at how digital portfolios promote reflection on student learning. All of the incredible learning that happens in the classroom can now be captured, curated and shared in an online student portfolio. If done correctly, digital portfolios should serve as a window into student thinking and understanding.
Reflection:
I believe there is a HUGE benefit to using technology in the classroom. Using technology is a huge timesaver for teachers and students. Productivity becomes more streamline with seamless use. If teachers are spending less time grading, they are spending more time providing meaningful feedback for their students. The use of technology also helps students get their feedback more quickly. The time saving principles of technology can help teachers focus more on their students, and providing new and innovative ways to learn (rather than spending time grading, or completing menial tasks. Technology allows for feedback anywhere. Communication and collaboration are increased through technology. I say this often, but I don’t know how I spent the first 4-5 years of teaching without using Google Tools and other technology aspects. I am so fortunate to have a full set of Chromebooks in my classroom, and honestly if I had to go back to limited technology, I don’t think I could be as effective of a teacher (and honestly, I wouldn’t want to have to teach without the use of technology!)Reflection:
