Reflection+Module+5


 * // Reflection Prompt: //** How has technology impacted or changed your classroom assessment and evaluation? Has your data collection methodology changed with technology? If technology has not impacted your assessment and evaluation, what would you like to change? Discuss technology and your own productivity and professional practice.

Discription: Technology has drastically changed my classroom assessment and evaluation. I use eSchools + for my grade book and classroom charts. eSchools + allows parents, administration, and students access to their grades 24 hours a day. As soon as I enter the grades there is an option to publish. If I publish the grades they can be accessed by students with their passwords. I also use Digits for the students math homework. Digits is done all online.

Impact: Since swithching to eSchools + the parental involvement has been tremendous. I interact with parents and students through messaging provided by the software. Parents have access to check if students are doing their assignments daily without having to call or make trips to the school. Since Digits is an online program, students assignments are graded as they complete them. This gives students instant feedbackon their progress.

Intent: I plan on using some additional web sites that were listed in the readings. This will give my students and me something fresh as the year progresses.
