Technology tools for Assessment and Evaluation
This article talked a lot about ways to use assessment and evaluation in technology and what teachers need to be aware of when doing the assessment and evaluation. the article mentions that it is important to make sure that teachers first know how to use assessment and what assessment really is. This is a really key point to me because I am taking Dr. Ken Howell's assessment class right now and we are learning that if teachers don't know how to use assessment correctly the data can be pointless because it could be completely wrong.I think that this article does a great job giving that information on assessment and the procedures we should use. After reading this article I feel a lot better that I don't have to come up with my own assessments and that I could find ones already made and not waste energy.

I really liked how you related this article to Ken's assessment class, I didn't really think of that. But now that I do, I totally see that! This article was pretty cool since it explained why we are learning what we are learning in IT. It is reassuring that we don't have to worry about making our own good assessments, that we can just find ones that are already made!
ReplyDeleteI also saw a direct correspondence from this article to the assessment class. I feel relieved too that I won't always have to create assessments for studnets. At least written assessments that is. There are some really good math and reading assessments in the book from assesment block. Aimsweb is also a very good resource.
