3.1 Candidates will be able to apply technology to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation strategies. I created a Flubaroo assessment for a first grade math lesson. Students had to select a response or type in an answer. I could evaluate what questions the students got right and wrong. From the results, I could analyze which question most students understood and was correct. Then from the data, I could see which questions were difficult for them and I had to reteach in whole group or small group.
3.2 Candidates will be able to use technology to collect assessment data, analyze it, and improve student learning.
I created a Flubaroo assessment to collect data on a math unit and what the students knew. After the students completed it, I analyzed their results. Flubaroo gives you a spreadsheet that tells you which students got the question correct and the percentage of how many got it correct overall. From this data, I learned that more than half the class did not know the different examples of a quadrilateral. I decided to reteach about a quadrilateral and different examples of a quadrilateral. One student scored a 20% on the quiz, so I decided to work one-on-one with this student to help improve his understanding. This assessment tool was beneficial and helped me improve student learning from the data I collected.
3.3 Candidates will be able to use technology to communicate assessment data with others.
My partner and I created a Powerpoint that discussed how to assess the Pre-k screening assessment and what the data means. I shared the data that I collected from my students and how it would impact my teaching. As a team we came up with next steps to take and what to change for the following year. We had technology tools that other Pre-k teachers could use to collect data and compare their results. There were videos to demonstrate how to use the tool and read the results.
