Standard
IV: Assessment and Evaluation
Teachers apply technology to facilitate a variety of
effective
assessment and evaluation strategies.
- Apply technology in
assessing student learning of subject matter using a variety of
assessment techniques.
The Related Rates lesson
with the Discussion Board is one example of assessing the student using
technology. The students were already taught Related Rates
problems and this was a way to assess if the students understand not
only the process, but also the elements that make up a problem. A
second example was using Excel to create graphs of the students
progress in the Communications Lesson for Algebra One. Graphing
the data allowed me to visualize the students progress. Geometry
webs created with Inspiration provided me with an understanding of the
students connections amoung topics as well as their knowledge of the
topics.
- Use technology resources to collect
and analyze data, interpret results, communicate findings to improve
instructional practice and maximize student learning.
At the start of this project
the students were given a survey to determine their experience with
technology and their capabilities at home. The data was then
analyzed and interpreted to help determine the types of projects that
should be assigned and the time necessary to complete the
project. For example, if many of the student did not have home
computers on line, I could not assign homework based on that
need. [Technology Survey]
[Survey Results]
In in
another case, the Algebra One
Communications Lesson the students were
given a writing assignment which was graded according to the
Language Arts Writing Rubrics.
This rubric was used for grading
because the school has a goal to improve communication skills
across all content areas. Students were scored according to the
rubric and the data was gathered from the first writing assignment and
was used as baseline data. After
several writing assignments and discussions on how to properly
communicate mathematically, a written assignment was again scored
according to the rubric. Excel was used to create a graph
of the data. From the
graph you can see that there was a
significant amount of improvement.
