Module 4 Reflection

How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?

Technology (new technology) provides several avenues for teachers and students. One of those avenues is innovative and fun assessments. Tools such as clickers provide an opportunity for games like Jeopardy, or any of the similar games, to help assess students knowledge. Blogs are also great tools for keeping logs and assessing students progress. More importantly, technology is not only saving the trees but it is saving time. Most technological tools or assessments create rubrics, graphs, and different score charts that show results just as fast as the students input the information. This saves teachers a lot of time, which in turn gives them more time to mediate and assess their students progress. It is effective in saving time and creating an assessment that students will truly enjoy completing.
