Assessment Technology

Part 1: Assessment Technology

Using the assessment technology socrative the students will be able to use critical
thinking skills and solve problems. As a teacher I will ask open end questions. Using the white
board and the smart clicker the students will respond and their answers will appear on the screen.
After reading the answers the teaching will be able to determine how many and which students
had an understanding of the questions and which students needed farther help in learning and
understanding. And if students need one-on-one instruction from the teacher.

Student Assessment Technology
Using the technology to assess student learning. As a teacher I prefer to use the
summative assessment. The use of portfolios would be best in my opinion to use. Using the
digital portfolios would give you the use of audio and video recording. When using this type
technology the teacher will be able to record students engaging in activities that are related to
standards that you expect them to achieve, and at the same time you will be able to determine
what the students need to have to be retaught if needed.

Technology to Facilitate Ongoing Efforts to Assess Student Learning

There are many ways teachers can use technology in the classroom for assessment. Some
teachers are afraid of the assessment that causes you to give test. They feel that the word test
makes the student nervous as well as themselves. Although we know that standards have to be
assessed. Every school district has to assess curriculum standards. Using digital technology is a

way to assess standards. The use of the white board- clicker system, or the video recorder is a
good technology assessment to use. This way you and the student can see if they are
understanding what is taught.
In my classroom I would rather use the summative assessment along with the
technology tool smart board. This way after each unit is taught I will be able to see if the student
understands and I could use the smart board to have them work on skills that they did not quite
understand. The assessment software/ web tool write to learn will be used to assess the students
reading comprehension skills. The students will have to read a short story, then write what they
have learned. For this I would use formative assessment to assess the reading comprehension
skill. I would use the formative assessment to help the student identify their strengths and
weaknesses in the area of reading comprehension. This will help me to be able to address the
problem.
Another assessment software I would use would be learning ware I would use this
to review how well they can answer questions that I have asked. It would let me know if they
retained information on subjects in the area of language. Another assessment I would use is the
summative assessment. Using this I would be able to know what they need to learn about
questions asked.
The website tool Fun brain .com would be used to stimulate the math skills of the
students. It will be used to teach fractional parts with the students that struggle with math. I
would have students use fruit to identify fractional parts. I would use the summative assessment
by testing the students with digital worksheets to identify fractional parts.
Formative assessment is when you monitor a students learning so that you as a
teacher can give them feedback that will help them improve their learning. Summative

assessment is when the teacher evaluates the students learning by testing after they teach a
certain subject and they complete the unit. Formative is known to either have low or no point
value and summative is of high point value and is compared to the standard contents that a
teacher should teach. Technology can help both assessments because either one will give the
teacher feedback on what the students understand or they can determine what they need to teach
to improve the students learning.
Students can benefit from technology based skills and activities. This can monitor
students learning and boost their communication skills, but at the same time if the student does
not have the confidence needed to trust the use of technology the students learning can be
hampered.
Using technology as a way to assess students learning can be very helpful in
enhancing student learning. Although from time to time as a teacher using technology would be
set aside. Sometimes I will use my own assessment tools, like testing at the end of the units I
teach. Have group projects on various content areas and give midterm exams.
