Week 2 Assignment 2.6 Alberto Guia – ET8008 Chapter 4, Assessment and Evaluation, is a topic all teachers are familiar with, we have to see what our students know and learned from our lessons. As teachers we know of all the big tests, TAKS for the upper grades and ITBS for the lower. Assessment and evaluations are being to become technology driven. In some high schools, TAKS tests are being done online. Other technology driven assessments currently being offered at all levels is TELPAS tests, which measured the amount of English a student has learned in a given school year. In the classroom technology can also play a role in the daily or weekly assessment for students. The use of classroom tools such as CPS response system allows students to answered questions and gets real time notification of their answers and scores. Other classroom tools that aide classroom teachers with assessments and evaluations via technology is the use of on-lines tools such as Quia.com. This great website allow users to create custom tests and quizzes or use a vast library of pre-made tests from other users. In my school district, we have students in the 5th grade only complete a technology pre-test. This pre-test I designed to show how much knowledge the students have gained in technology starting from the first day they entered the computer lab. At the end of the school year the same test is administrated to show how much progress the students have made and what they still need to grasp. This form of assessment is aimed to help student meet the requirement sent fourth by the Texas Long Range Plan for Technology as well as meet federal guidelines with No Child Left Behind and the technology language within it.
