Types of Assessment • • • • • • • • Tests Quizzes Affective Opinion Projects/Assignments Survey Formative Summative Types of Technology • • • • • • • Computers Internet Software Hand Held Calculators Data Probes Other Hardware Using Technology • Using technology to assess student learning, attitudes, etc. needs to work seamlessly within your class or it becomes burdensome and quickly abandon. Computers & Internet Unless all students have a computer, it is very hard to use this technology as an inclass assessment tool. Therefore, without the computer, using the Internet is impossible as part of an inclass assessment plan. However, both computers and the Internet may take part in an overall assessment plan for any class. Computers & Internet • Using Blackboard – Administer on-line Quizzes/Tests/ Surveys/etc. so class time is saved for teaching – Results are available immediately for students – Post grades so students can monitor their progress in your class Computers & Internet • Use the Internet to assess critical thinking skills • Use interactive web pages • Use Internet interactive software • Create or use WebQuests Critical Thinking • Have students locate various web resources on a topic • Have them critically analyze the readings – – – – – Word Selection Word Connotation Tone of the Writing Logic of Written Arguments Interpretation of Numerical Data • Written Assignment Interactive Web Pages • Sites with online, interactive quizzes, tutorials, etc. • Sites where students input information and see the results • Sites where students gather real-time information and use it in assignments • Sites where students hypothesize and test conjectures Interactive Web Pages • Must have Flash Plug-in and browser must be Java compatible • Find sites through search engines • “interactive site” <Subject> • Good assignment for students to locate interactive sites for you [along with the ones you find] Internet-Interactive Software Earth Browser Earth Browser QuickTime™ and a Animation decompressor are needed to see this picture. • All types of science explorations • Climate and indigenous people • Population dispersion • Impact of climatologically changes on people and wildlife • And so much more… WebQuests http://homepages.wmich.edu/~k5matko/quest/ WebQuests • • • • http://webquest.sdsu.edu/ An inquiry-oriented activity Information is drawn from the Web Focus on using information rather than finding it • It supports thinking that involves analysis, synthesis, and evaluation WebQuests Computer Software Inspiration WWW Browsers Microsoft Office And many others… For Example: Inspiration Venn Diagrams Inspiration Directions Inspiration Primates Inspiration Trial of Antoine Lavoisier Inspiration Build Concept Maps Computers and Software • • • • Build databases of knowledge Develop multimedia reports Create photographic slide shows Demonstrate numerical relationships in a spreadsheet • Build annotated bibliographies of Internet and print resources Handheld Technology Palm, Pocket PC, etc. Calculators Data Probes Other Devices Handhelds and Data Probes • Obvious uses in science and mathematics • Physical Education – – – – – Temperature Sensor Distance Sensor Accelerometer CO2 Gas Sensor Exercise Heart Rate Monitor • Art – Light Sensor – Colorimeter Handhelds and Data Probes • Psychology – EKG Sensor – Heart Rate Monitor – Respiration Monitor • Speech – Sound Level Monitor • Education – Sound Level Monitor - used in classrooms Handhelds and Other Devices • Assessing students with a handheld: – Develop quiz, test, attitude assessment, Likert scale survey, pre-test, etc. – Beam to students as they enter the room – Students complete the assessment – Students beam their responses to your computer on the way out of class Handhelds and Assessing QuickTime™ and a H.26 3 de com press or a re ne eded to see this picture . Handhelds and Other Devices • With Office to Go, students can work with Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint documents on their handheld • Add a portable keyboard and the student has a full functioning portable computer • Add a camera to the handheld and the student may add pictures and multimedia to their work products Tracking with Handhelds • Create a class list with a bar code for each student • Using appropriate software, read the bar code for students who: – – – – Are absent, Make significant contributions to class Volunteer Or just about anything else you can think of recording • Keep anecdotal records on your students in class Handheld Software Download web pages to a handheld Free word processor with spell check, etc. Great free drawing program Create concept maps on a handheld There are many more examples I could give, but for now, I must say… and thank you for attending!
