Educational Technology Learning Goal and Indicator

 

ASSESSMENT

Assessment Design: Includes description of assessment and scoring tool/rubric assessing both the content and technology.

We will use the BCR Reading Rubric to assess the content area. To assess the technology part, I will monitor this by walking around and pairing up students depending on their comfort level with the handhelds.

Implementation: Includes description of how the assessment expectations will be communicated to students.

Students will understand at the beginning of the lesson that they can use handhelds to write anytime or anywhere. This experience will help them improve writing skills, creativity while learning to edit and proofread their work.

 

Product: Explains what students will produce and how it is connected to what they are learning and includes a sample prototype of a finished product: Includes an explanation of whether you intend to use the student product(s) for other instructional purposes (i.e., sharing, gallery walk, data collection, ongoing instruction).

All writing products created by the students will be shared with the class. The documents they created are pasrt of our reading curriculum and standards, so it is part of our ongoing instruction in reading.
