Technology

Evidence #1:  I created this professional development to share what I have learned about assessment throughout this course and how to implement technology in the classroom. Prezi allows for an interactive experience, as the viewer can move at their own pace, listen to audio, and move through an engaging format. Not only do I include 5 ideas on formative assessment, but these ideas are applied to real classroom examples, and I offer the viewer access to my materials. To further support formative assessments in the classroom in the 21st century, this presentation also includes an inside look into 3 technology tools to deepen student learning with assessments.

This piece of evidence shows that I have learned the following about assessment of learning:

If we want Formative Assessments to be used most effectively, students are invited to be a part of the process. Whether it be through more student choice or purposely creating opportunities for students to be able to monitor their strengths and weaknesses, formative assessments need to include the students themselves in the conversation. Technology should be seen as another tool in a teacher's tool belt. Within this presentation, I highlight the value of Blooket, Google Sites, and Canva as three significant tools for learning. Whether it be making connections to worldwide issues, demonstrating student learning in an engaging format, or collecting student data while students play a game, these tools are the key to enhancing formative assessments.
