Assessment & E-Portfolio

I have learned that assessment is the process of gathering and analyzing data to determine if intended learning outcomes have been achieved. (Page 219, par. 3) We use the assessment activities to determine where student’s strengths and weakness are. The assessment helps the teacher what she needs to work on with the student. Have a technology assessment is a different way to assess a student. We might even found out that the student understands what we are talking about but does not work well when they are taking a test. Assessments are very important in a classroom and a technology assessment is a new way for teachers to get the feedback they need in order to help the student.

                                                                                                                                

            An e-portfolio is a collection of digitized artifacts which can include video clips, graphics, writing samples, and multimedia presentations. E-portfolios help the students organize and display their work. It can help teachers assess the students learning while also assessing their work. Computer-based is used to simplify the testing process for teachers. The student uses a computer to take a test other than the traditional paper version. In a way, computer-based testing does impact validity because there can always be errors in grading. Reliability can also be affected because there is always the possibility of the computer going down at any time while taking the test. I have taken test by the computer and I find it hard because if you stay on the computer to long your eyes and back start to hurt but that just could be me.

            

            In this chapter I have learned a lot about assessment in the classroom. I t is very important and technology is trying to make it easier for the teachers to get the result quick. I do believe that an assessment is better when it is given on paper. Because on the paper a student can show their strategies that they are using to get the answer. We can see where they are messing up on the problem. On a computer it is a lot easier to guess on an answer just to get it over with. As or the e-portfolio is this new to me. I want to learn more and I cannot wait to see how mine comes out at the end of the semester. I would want my students to be creative when creating an e-portfolio.

Copyright

     I believe that it is important to respect the copyright rules and fair use becuase someone has worked very hard to get the information that they were researching. It would be very wrong someone else to just take credit for someones elses work. I ahve learned that that copyright can be published or unpublished work. I would teach the student about copyright by explaining the term plagiarism which is representing work  that is not their own.
     Cyberbulllying is when you post thing that can hurt someone else feeling. it is just like bulling you are just doing the bulling though the computer by post. One the that we should let every student know that even though you are telling them directly, you can still hurt the persons feeling and that can still lead to things that can cause a lot of damage to you and the other person. Online safety is very imporant we need to make sure that that we will not regret something we post that others can read. For online predators you want to make sure that you know who you are conforming as a friend. I know that you might want to be the one that has the most friends but at the end do you want people that you don't know, knhow what is happening in your daily life. 
     This weeks activity was very interesting. I have learned how to make a post on the blogger (which was very hard for me to figure out), learned all about copyright and the fair use ( on how it is the right why to use the information that we use online), also about online safety and cyberbulling. I also want to apoloagize that my post is late but my whole family including me where sick all last week, but after a hard week this week is looking a lot better. Hope everyone was a great week!!! : )
