Assessment is the foundation of the blended learning classroom. As you learn more and more about the apps and sites that are available you will see that collecting data will become an integral part of your classroom. This data can enrich your instruction as it will be a path for what students know and identifying learning gaps. In the videos below, look for two things. First, what tools are being used? Secondly, how are the tools being used to inform instruction?
As you view the 3 videos, think about these questions:
-
What are your current formative assessment practices?
-
How do formative assessments differ from summative assessments?
-
How often do you complete formative assessments? How do you use the data?
-
How are the assessments different in the videos? Which assessments would be considered summative?
-
How would the summative assessments be graded?
- Have you tried any of these tools before? If so, would you use them again?
Choose one of the following assignments to complete and submit as evidence that you have mastered the information and applications found in the course. Refer to the Choice Board Evaluation Rubric and the Guidelines for Submitting Your Assignment to ensure your evidence contains the necessary elements.
Choice 1: Assessment Plan Document
Create a two-page document that details an assessment plan for a unit of instruction that has at least three formative assessments, a summative assessment, and a rubric for the summative project. All assessments should be completed on the ipad.
Choice 2: Assessment Plan Video
Create a three-minute video explaining two tools you will use for formative assessments and one tool as a summative assessment. In your video explain when you would use the tools and how you plan on using the tools. Please include specific details.
You may use any video creation/editing tool of your choice but below are some recommended tools.
Choice 3: Find Assessment Apps
Select three apps that are not discussed in this module and create a presentation explaining how those apps can be used for classroom assessment purposes. Please select two apps for formative assessments and one app as a summative assessment. Your presentation should have at least 10 slides and offer details about how the apps can be used in the classroom.
You may use any video creation/editing tool of your choice but below are some recommended tools.
