The three assessments tools introduced this week were the technology based rubrics, the clicker assessment tools and Inspiration/Kidspiration software. All of these resources could be very useful in the classroom. The website, http://school.discovery.com/schrockguide/assess.html, gives educators informative and help information. Base Rubrics are a given. They were dull to me, but a very useful tools to many. Clicker Assessment tool was my favorite. It is attention getting, fun, and a learning tool. This tool is any teachers’ dreams come true, because students are learning and having fun at the same time. I briefly glanced at Inspiration/Kidspiration Software. From the looks of it, it held a lot of information. I have watched several rubrics being made. I wish I would’ve had this experience earlier, I could’ve helped my mentor teacher tremendously. As I go through my career I will keep these tools on my fingertips.
I thought I knew everything there was to know about technology. Of course I was wrong! Since I have been in this class I have became knowledgeable about several things. I have learned to blog, social bookmark, wiki, and post cast. I am web 2.0 ready! I have also experience that every one learns at a different pace. When the teacher is knowledgeable about something doesn’t mean the student is going to catch on easily. As a future elementary teacher I must keep this in the back of my mind. I’m leaving this class with more knowledge than I began with, and that makes me happy as a student because neither my time nor money was wasted. I think the instructor did a great job explaining what she expected. I will recommend this class to any early childhood educator. The lesson I learned through this course, no matter how old you are there is always room for learning.
