Artifact description: This is a Google form that I created for a class here at Trinity that involves general math for a communications development class in elementary school. I picked this since my major is Elementary Education and my minor is Special education. I have had students in a communications classroom take this test so I am aware that it is math that they have learned or will be learning sometime in the year. This keeps track of the results for me which I can then go and put into a spreadsheet. having access to a spreadsheet will allow me to keep track of the progress that my students make throughout the year in an easy location that can be shared with anyone that needs to see it such as interventionists.
Connection to ITPS standard: 7O) effectively uses appropriate technologies to conduct assessments, monitor performance, and assess student progress. This would be an easy way to assess students with really any subject in school

Artifact description: This is a Google form response google sheet that I created for a class here at Trinity that involves a chapter in our textbook about behavioral views of learning. The quiz was given to my peers in the class to take after we had presented the chapter to them with my group.
Connection to ITPS standard: This artifact can be connected to standard 7E) understands how to select, construct, and use assessment strategies and instruments for diagnosis and evaluation of learning and instruction; These are just results from the test that I created which will give me an idea of what my students understood.
Description of what was learned: I learned how to use the information that I gathered from the Google forms to plan for future lessons. This was used in a class at Trinity but it helped me see if I taught the information to the point that others understood it.
