Evidence of My Progress
1. Plickers Assessment Tool
Plickers is an app that allows teacher to receive instant feedback and statistics from their students. This can be a formative or a summative assessment tool in the classroom. The results of the assessments can help teachers decide on a course of action. Do they need to reteach the material, or is the understanding good enough over the majority of the class that everyone can move on. This is a unique form of assessment because each student gets their own piece of paper that allows them to answer multiple choice questions as an ipad roams around the room collecting answers. It is efficient, and the amount of information that is learned from this is huge.
2. Tally Chart and Pictograph
This activity was designed as a relevant learning experience for Kindergarten students to collect data, organize, and graph the data. This is very relevant, because collecting data is a very big part of the bases of math and science i education. This activity can be personalized to fit many different learning styles, as it is very hands on, and it is a great example of students abilities using digital tools and resources.
3. Snowman Glyph
This is a relevant activity because it is super important to follow directions. This activity is based in the answers given to a set of questions, so students have to be aware of their answers and what they are being told to do. This is a relevant learning experience, but it is incorporating technology, which satisfies this standard.
