This week was quite a challenge for me. I really had to spend some time thinking about how i could incorporate traditional assessment into my world. After the aforementioned conversations with my husband and experiencing susie's pre-assessment, I thought that the pre-assessment concept was going to the be the way to go for me. So I decided to go ahead and create a pre-assessment surrounding the NETS for teachers as an opening activity for my technology class.
Once I had figured out the "what" of my assessment, I had determine how I wanted to deliver it to my students. I decided to use Google forms to create a form that looks more like a survey rather than a "test". I liked that the interface is more casual so that the students could feel comfortable.
The other aspect of the Google form that I liked is that the results backfeed into a spreadsheet which will give me a great opportunity to have the individual results as well as the group results at a glance in order to determine the next learning steps.
I am excited to try this out on a group of my next "unsuspecting" students:)
