Module 5

This module has helped me think about student-centered assessment in the following ways….
Giving students a chance to know if they actually know it or don't increases their learning. It makes them responsible for their learning. It's made me do more self-checks on learning with thumbs up, to the side, or down.

Module 4

How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?
Using technology like emails and blogs that require students to write their thoughts can give the teacher a way to check for understanding. Do they completely understand the concept? Does the teacher need to reteach?

Module 3

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my student's learning in the following ways...
There is so many resources on the World Wide Wb, finding ones appropriate for kids can be difficult. It is necessary as a teacher to view sites beforehand and to not just let the kids have at it. Giving students a direction on the web will reduce inappropriate use.
Choosing the right kind of online collaborative web sites will keep the learning flowing.
I'd really like to try email as a way to improve writing skils. I'd also like to try blogging as a way a formative assessment.
