Technology assessment

Introduction I have been a classroom teacher for ten years now. When I first began, the only technology in my classroom was an overhead projector with transparencies. A lot has changed since then, including the way that I teach. The shift towards technology driven instruction has made my job as a teacher not only easier, but it also appears to have a positive impact on student learning in the classroom. My goal is to determine if using chromebooks paired with technology enhanced formative assessments (TEPA) in class is helping my students achieve higher mastery of the content presented to them in class. Advances in the Modern Classroom After teaching for a few years in an underperforming district, our principal invested in a classroom set…

In my ITEC 7445 Multimedia and Web Design course, the Evaluating Emerging Technologies Assessment (EETA) project was designed by me to evaluate an emerging technology that supports the vision for technology use within my school. SIP goals include decreasing the achievement gap of ELLs and SWDs while increasing the graduation rate and literacy skills among all students using technology. Therefore, this artifact supports the school’s vision through the use of Digital storytelling which is an…

In addition, however, Article 5 of Annex III to the Convention sought to give binding quality to certain obligations concerning technology transfer. And, in particular, Article 5(3) of Annex III required each deep^ seabed contractor to make available to both the Enterprise and developing countries involved in seabed mining the requisite technology for their operations which the contractor is legally entitled to transfer. Such technology was to be transferred on a fair and reasonable commercial…

Technology is becoming very popular nowadays. Especially in the developed countries and now we can even see computers in some non- developed countries as well. The use of computers is very important and helpful for majority organizations. Some companies can’t even function without computers. In addition, the benefits of computer are very important and it’s not only helping with tasks but it’s also helping with environment. Furthermore, computer helps with keeping documents not in a paper form.…

I know about and use observation, documentation and other appropriate assessment tools and approaches to collect data. I understand and practice responsible assessment to promote possible outcomes for each and every child in my classroom. I know the…

Administration or Scanning Barcode medication administration or scanning is a technology that has emerged to help in lessening medical errors through performing an additional check before a medication is administered to the patient. The use of this technology is also geared towards ensuring medical errors are prevented. Similar to other medication administration or scanning technologies, barcode administration or scanning helps in dealing with drug administration in cases with no double checks…

In the article, Do we need an assessment overhaul? Jay McTighe discusses how assessment in the United States is deeply flawed and needs to be changed. In 2011 when McTighe wrote the article, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) was in its tenth year. NCLB is a federal statute that has required annual state testing in order to determine the success of local schools. The scores for each school are then published which was supposed to lead to heightened accountability between schools and districts and show…

Technology has always had an impact on our lives in some form or another. Early in the 20th century, automation and power machinery transformed our country by reducing the manual labor force necessary on farms and factories. In the 21st century, technology is developing at a much more rapid pace as advances today are often outdated within 2-5 years. Fewer opportunities exist in manufacturing, while the digital has grown exponentially. These advancements indicate that it is very likely that…

Creating and implementing this unit on division for this diverse fifth grade class was able to help me to reflect on myself as an educator. While there were many strengths from this unit, there was also some areas of growth that could have made the unit even more successful. One major strength from this unit was the differentiation of instruction and assessments. An area of growth for this unit would be to create a stronger behavior management system in order to make the time dedicated to math…
