In our reading this week, I continued to think
about assessments. I found this quote “And using Web 2.0 tools the educators
might also devise an interesting, authentic, and appropriate summative
evaluation for the unit.” Web 2.0:
New tools, new schools. This is an interesting quote because it makes for a
way to assess the lesson as the lesson occurs which is important in the
learning process. If you don’t have a way to assess the lesson the way you are
told to teach it, why do the lesson. Sometimes
the testing is not fair to the students because it doesn’t follow the way the
students are taught. I think if the
teacher can create the assessment with the lesson, then it’s going to be truer
to the student when they take the assessment thus improving the validity.
In today’s day and age, assessment is so critical
and we have to equip our students with the right tools to pass these
assessment. Technology is key to doing
that and we need to utilize our whole bucket of Web 2.0 tools whenever
possible.
