Educational Technology Learning Goal and Indicator

 

ASSESSMENT

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

Summarizing the text is a BCR question. I will use the BCR Reading Rubric to score their responses. By walking around monitoring the students, I can detect their comfort levels with the handhelds. I will pair students will higher and lower comfort levels toether in order to help each other.

 

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

As students complete their assignments, they will show mw their work and we will score their response together. By checking each child, I can also assess their that all students understand the correct method of creating and using the word processor.

 

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).

The student’s assignment on the Palm will be shared with the whole class. The students normally write their summaries on index cards, so this will allow them to use technology to summarize. The handheld will be used in conjunction with our reading curriculum.
