Rubrics are a type of assessment tool I am most familiar with. It is used in every class I rake currently, and many of the classes I have taken in the past. It outlines, in detail, what is expected of a student for success. It shows them how to be successful, and what it takes to get there. There are many websites that can be used to create a rubric for the classroom. Another assessment tool called clickers can be used for teachers to get feedback on a course from their students. This, again, is something I see used in most of the classes I take. I think it is important to get feed back from students so that courses can be sucessful. Using clickers, teachers are able to make adjustments off of recommendations of the students. Inspiration and kidspiration cover many different subject areas.
Everything I know about technology in the classroom, I learned from this class. I have mentioned many times we simply did not use these types of resources in my high school, so it has been an interesting experience to see all the opportunities I have to bring technology into my classroom. My favorite thing we have done so far is this blog. I know I will incorporste many of the things we haveused, but I think having students use a blog is a fun way to see howthey are learning, as well as get tp read some of their thoughts on what they are learning. I liked all of the web 2.0 tools. I think that the tools learned about in this class will help me in my ultimate goal in my classroom: to be a successful teacher, and to be sensitive to the different learning styles of my students.
