Reflection 4: Assessment

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

- Students can take a test on SurveyMonkey once the teacher makes up the questions.
-A teacher could use the interactive response system to engage students simultaneously with group questions.
-Rubistar is good website to create rubrics in order to assess students based on a presentation or project.
-Many software programs have games that involve a point system based on the number of correct questions.

Reflection 3: Internet Use

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students' learning in the following ways:
I think our team should make a launch page of the sites that students will be visiting. That way students spend time reviewing the site rather than looking for it. Our internet sites need to be age appropriate in terms of reading ability. Many of the sites are helpful for adults, but difficult for younger students to read.
