Student Rubrics

Many times teachers prepare the rubrics for evaluation.  Sometimes it could be fun to see what the kids think that they should be graded on to achieve success on their projects.  If they choose the topics they think are important topics we might see more from their prospective in life that differs from what we think is important.  It can be fun to see things from their perspective.

Module 4 Reflection

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

Technology can help assess in many ways.  We as teachers can be more creative in our ways to assess students.  Knowing that they are not just taking a test they are more able to express creativity and give effort in other ways to bump up their grades.  We can use rubrics and other forms to assess and influence learning.  Doing projects allows more door to be opened and help utilize their brains and get o higher order thinking easily.

Module 2

We created our unit plan and most of the assessment and presentations.  They were easy to create and submit.  The hard part was trying to submit the information on the WIKI that we had to do in one of the last activities.  The technological brain needed for that was a little above my head and was confusing.  The unit was well planned and helped lay out our thoughts and the information that we will be elaborating on later.  The questions were easy to write an form.  Of course the higher you get the more difficult to create these questions.  Loving it so far and can't wait to learn more! :)

Module 1

Okay so it took a little longer than anticipated to complete module 1.  I created my publication based on trying to build a relationship with my students to promote better TAKS scores. The publication was easy but trying to use tagging was not easy and not as simple as planned for in this case.  More practice and I think all will be easier and go much easier than it is right now.
