Assesment

Upon reviewing the discussion for assessments, I found some information that was new to me and very useful for me in the classroom. With all the assesment tools available now, such as, Convey and Kidspiration, there are many levels of being able to meet the students needs in giving them the information they need at competeing an assignment. Assesment does help to offer the opprotunity to evaluate the studetns understanding of a topic or subject area by their level of performance on certain subject matter. The many assesment tools available help to aid in the students behavior, homework and for teachers, lesson plans. The many varities of assesment offer the student the opportunity to respond and help them to be more successful.

Throughout this course I have learned the many varities and different resources out there available for students in the classroom, with homework, behavior, task management, and assesment. There are many tools out there for educators to use and help one another. Creating a web page, pageflake, blog or even an eportfolio will offer you the opprotunity to get your information out there and be able to use other imformation from other educators to incorporate in your classroom.

Being as I am in special education, the tools for assesment will be very useful for me and I intend to use them on many occasions throughout the course of my teaching career. The tool CLICK is an awesome tool used to help students enrich the information they are recieving and to independantly modify information the get from the teacher to prevent them from falling behind. Many of the tools create an enviroment that make learning more interactive and fun. Technology for the students is now second nature, so, we as educators need ot get on board and learn the useful tools we can.
