Technology assessment

The thematic unit I created is aimed towards enhancing the learning of a first grade classroom. This first grade classroom consists of twenty-five students. The students will be focusing on the theme of winter over the next couple of months, which is why I chose to create a unit on winter animals and their hibernation process.

Using a Loti Questionnaire, an Innovation…

constantly filed with assessment. Despite the point in the unit, assessments drive instruction, learning and ultimately more assessment.

Teachers have been trained, and are quite capable of developing teaching strategies and learning activities, but a more effective curriculum would provide specific examples inside the frameworks and ways to implement technology in each unit. Columbia County does…

2. LITERATURE DISCUSSION A good way to understand the importance of assessment is to think about learning outcomes. If students automatically learned what they were taught, we would never need to assess; we could instead just keep records of what we had taught.
