Digital Blog Post I

 Learning assessment, is a concept which i as a an future educator would like to have a better grasp of and know more about. The book speaks of multiple ways children can be assessed on their comprehension of content taught by teachers.I took a particular interest when the book talks about, the three methods of assessment. Summarize,formative and diagnostic. I have done these sorts of assessments before, but i did not now teachers had a names for these kinds of assessment methods.Technology in today's day and age has and can help us in these assessments, like flip quiz & survey gizmo.One of the assessment creators i enjoy using is Kahoot


Another concept that intrigued me,where the various types of test assessments educators have at their disposal to use.Like the ones mentioned in the book,Norm referenced and criterion tests.The book talks about how the bell shape curved is taken in to account on norm referenced tests rather then criterion tests. Once again technology is helping with these assessments as well.


Electronic grading software was another concept, i found interesting. It makes sense with the rapid use of software.School district are also purchasing virtual record keeping software. Teachers also asses students by giving them assessments based on the subject content of there lesson plan.I love the fact that such software make record keeping easier for teachers.Lesson plans can also be used and other important administrative school tasks can be performed on software. These types of software can help teachers and administrators as well as parts know where there students are at.It can help with the correspondence as well
