This Module has helped me think about about using standards, CFQs, or formative assessment in the following ways...
Well, as a teacher, and after working on this weeks assignments, I'm thinking a lot about formative assessment. When I think back to my time in the classroom, I think that formative assessment was one area where I was weak. I was constantly assessing students, but often it was really in a more informal kind of way. Technology gives us many avenues for assessment, and in the future I have some ideas about how I can make more formative assessments, more often.
Blackboard is one area that makes formative assessments much easier. Being able to upload quizzes and have them graded automatically will really help not just me, but also my students. I think many times that when students do poorly on a quiz, they don't always realize that quizzes are sometimes there to benefit them. To let them know where they're weak. They only see it as a grade. I think that by using my little PowerPoint quizzes, I can help my students to realize where they're weak, and not have them worry about a grade...
