Applying Technology for Effective Assessment in Classrooms

Well hey there readers! For those of you that don't know, I am in school studying to become an educator. Today I'll be discussing one thing that I've learned in my technology in education class that will help with assessment in my future classroom.I have learned about all types of tools that we as educators can use for assessment in the classroom. But one that stood out to me was creating online quizzes that students can take! Using the assessment as learning approach students are able to see others responses once completed and compare and contrast each others learning to come to a better understanding of the subject matter. Using this tool frequently through the course (beginning, middle and end) will help students and teacher see where they are, in regards to the learning goals they've set for themselves. The website that I would use to create these quizzes is "Socrative" with Google Drive. It is a great tool for teachers to quickly gather information about students' learning in the form of closed and open-ended questions. It is a great tool because you can hear from each student in the class and not only the ones that want to raise their hands to answer questions. I hope you've learned something useful like I have if you too plan to become an educator!
