Week 7: Evaluation and Assessment

Above is my Multimedia Assessment. What I choose was how to create a bar graph in Google Docs. I added my questions at different points in the video to test my students.


Rubric for Project Based Learning

Poll or Survey

I used Kahoot to do my poll/survey, I used 4 questions from the quizizz.com below.

I also used a program called quizizz.com for my poll or survey. At the end it gives a score for each student and lets me know which ones they got right and wrong, it also challenges my students because the faster you answer the more points you get.

                     Use in the Classroom

• • For this week my assessments (5th Grade) are going to be understanding how to do a survey and creating a bar graph with questions to help you understand. Create a survey (quiz) about technology and then I want to poll the class. I have two Polls/Surveys for them to take because I want to see where my students are in their understanding of Technology (Computers). These two Polls/Survery's will help me see where I need to redo past lesson plans so that I can make sure I am teaching the correct information and my students are retaining it. With my students who are higher level learners I will challenge them with another version of the Kahoot poll or Quizizz Poll/Survey that delves deeper into Technology, such as Coding, Tool Bars, Apps, and Internet Usage and Safety. In the end I want all of my students to pass both Polls/Surveys so when they enter 6th Grade they already have the basis down for Coding, Keyboarding with Shortcut Keys, and all computer basics (maximize, Function keys, open new tabs) needed to move forward in the curriculum for Middle School. 
    
    • I will demonstrate the learning in this assessment by tallying up the totals of my students and making sure all have a complete understanding of Technology up to this point.
    • Learning Objective #1, the students will be able to watch the Playposit questionaire, and answer the questions correctly, #2  then they will be able to take the two Polls/Surveys and answer them correctly. 
  • How could you incorporate project-based learning into your teaching or training, creation of multimedia materials, and learner creation of artifacts? I will incorporate it by doing constant repetition of the material, either through videos I will download and manipulate, by doing technology tools we have learned over and over and also reflection. Maybe have the students create their own polls/surveys which in turn will help with their memorization of the material and it will help their fellow classmates. 
  • What factors could influence (or not) the success of your implementation? What considerations may be needed? The factors that could influence the success of this is internet/computer usage. With only 30min of class time per week for each class, I have a small window for my students to learn a tremendous amount of material. What I plan on doing is using my free (Prep) and free (Tech) periods which are each 30minutes in duration as fillers. Let students come during this time and work on their lesson and projects for an hour, especially those who have no computers at home. 
• Application:
  • How do the readings from week 1 on design principles for instructional multimedia align with the project? Again I am continuing to use the principles of Temporal Contiguity and Spatial Contiguity. These principles are the lifeline of my teaching and coaching. You are covering all bases with these two, seeing, hearing and doing, (narration, printed words and graphics) I feel this is the best way to learn and retain information into long term memory. I also sprinkle in the Signaling principle because if focuses on certain highlighted material that can also be go over again and again. For example if I was showing them a video, I could have animation that points to a certain object ( a usb drive) for example and it includes animation of how to use one. This helps the students see and understand what the technology is and how to use it. 
• Reflection:
  • How has your thinking changed this week about technology use? About project based learning in the classroom or workspace? About assessment that utilizes technology? 
  • What did you enjoy, or not?
  • How did you grow? This has to be the third week in a row that I have learned something new, have incorporated it into the classroom and our last Professional Development day had a bunch of these websites that we have used in class. Padlet, Kahoot, thinglink and Plickers just to name a few. I have gained knowledge on all of the websites we have used and to use them in lesson plans is a blessing in disguise. My students are being challenged, are excited and enthusiastic about Technology. I hope to continue engaging my students with different websites, topics and evaluations or assessments.
