Reflection:
Assessment is such a buzzword in education. Whether it be a standardized
test or a science project, students and parents alike want to know exactly what is being assessed and how it is being scored.
Computer generated rubrics have been helpful in instruction and assessment. It is a "road map" for teachers, students,
and parents. I post the rubric for each project on my school website so parents and students can access them at any time.
Below is one of my favorite projects, A Gift of Age, and the rubric that guides insrtuction.
Another artifact is my Excel Gradebook which is weighted. I don't even use
a traditional paper book anymore. I can print out the statistics of just one student and bring it to a parent conference.
The third artifact is a power point presentation on the Wiley Personal Response
System. It is a wonderful assessment tool for shy students. It can even asses the whole class in a matter of seconds.
As a technology facilitator, we can help teachers develop there own electronic
gradebooks and create rubrics that will help guide instruction.
