Get Your Students Hired
I have learnes that different assesssments are necesary for multiple intelligences and forms of learning.
The importance of investigating the assessment tools and adequately pairing them. Also, the usefulness of providing second chances. The program I came from it is one and done, and I would love to shift to a learning environment that helps the students learn by correcting their mistakes.
You should make sure as an instructor that you understand the technology tools and material you use both in class and online will be most effective to your students learning experience and success.
This module help me see the need to assertain knowledge on the tools and function of those tool in student learning.
We use a mixture of online learning and hands on type labs. This provides us with various forms of asseenment. Adding to a better learning envoroment.
In this module I've learned that there are more and more technological tools available for students. Although it is good that there are more options available, they may not all be a good fit for the class. As instructors we must evaluate the tool before using, to see if it specifically fits the needs of our students, and the needs of the course.
STudent achievement can be assessed with many tools. Select the one that best provides student and intructor with desired feedback.
One of the most important first steps it seems when choosing technology tools for student assessment and learning you have to first and foremost think about what is going to be the appropriate medium or technology tools to utilize. As a school teacher and adjunct professor I know the importance of backwards design and knowing how students will be assessed proir to teaching them.
I learned the importance of designing multiple types of assessments in a course that can be adapted for multiple learning styles, and also that it is good to get feedback from students on the effectiveness of different types of tools.
Aprendió a identificar que la evaluación parte desde una buena planificación, así como, que antes de utilizar una herramienta tecnológica para evaluación debo primero i investigar la eficacia y características de esta, así como qué es lo que deseo lograr en mis estudiantes, considerando que cada uno de ellos tiene un estilo de aprendizaje diferente. Además, se necesita que al culminar un curso aplique una encuesta para saber cómo les fue a los docentes ya los alumnos, así podrá tomar buenas decisiones al iniciar nuevamente el curso y saber si vuelvo a utilizar esa herramienta o la reemplazo por otra.
Por otro lado, hay diferentes tipos de herramientas de evaluación de tecnología y cada una de ellas tiene sus ventajas y desventajas, entre ellas las que son más significativas son la de desempeño a través de portafolios y las de proyectos, aunque tomen más tiempo de dedicación del docente, son muy efectivos para desarrollar la creatividad, la innovación y el pensamiento crítico, lo cual es necesario lograr en los estudiantes.
Pienso aplicarlo con mis alumnos a través de los portafolios, ya que ellos trabajan conmigo proyectos, y esta estrategia me va a permitir ver el paso a paso, el día a día como avanzan y retroalimentarlos de manera efectiva.

I learned about the tracking process within Word, useful for providing student's with needed feedback. i also learned about the critical importance of evaluating different tools to measure student learning and retention.
I learned to continue to research ways of using the technology. Whether that be learning, communicating and educating. You can always use different technology tools to reach the students. I will also plan on evaluating the students on how their learning from the systems we use. Everyone is different. Technology is always growing like everything else. I want my students to learn their best way, not mine. What I mean by that is some students strive just by reading on their own time and doing assignments while others need more interaction. I want to continue to reach everyone, so I will continue to research the best tools that can achieve this
As in other courses in this series, it assumes the instructor has autonomy to choose tools for a class and experiement with the effectiveness. I don't know about everyone else on this board, but that isn't an optioni at my university. I will look into WebQuests and make suggestions to improve courses though.
Make sure the right tools are used to be effective. Data gathered from students is the best way to ensure the quality of assessment.
I have learned that there are several ways to assess students knowledge and skills. I also learned that it is important to not use the same method every time to ensure those that struggle with that one particular assessment has a chance to be assessed at their learning style. I also learned that it is important to gather feedback from instructors and students regarding testing methods so that improvement can be made for the next course.

The information abut performance assessment functions were very helpful and can be utilized in my teaching.
This module taught me about the importance of electronic tools to help teach and assess students in their program.
Feedback from students, peer instructors and personal observation of what works and what doesn't all contribute to worthwhile revision of assessment criteria when necessary.
