Module 5 Reflection

This module has helped me think about student-centered assessment in the following ways….

It has made me think about how student-centered assessments can help students become self-directed learners. It allows them to take responsibilty for their own learning. This module has also made me think about the challenges we might face with student-centered assessments. I think that it can be especially difficult in the younger grades.

Module 4 Reflection

How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?

There are so many great ways to use technology to help support and assess student learning. There are sites that you can create online quizzes, Kidspiration is a great resourse for graphic organizers, and blogs seem to be a neat way to have students respond to questions. I am really excited to continue to learn about technology that can be used to support student learning.

This module has helped me think about the impact of the Internet on my students’ learning in the following ways….

There is so much great information on the Internet that my students can use. At the same, it is important to teach my students about the safe ways to use the internet. I am really excited to find more resources for my students to use with our unit.
