I found the class very practical in the assignments we were given and the discussions we had in class. I appreciated my peers and their comments. I got some great ideas that I can use in my classroom in the future. The class gave me some great formative and summative strategies and tools that went along with them. I also learned how data can be used to enhance my class.
After this class I feel prepared to use the formative skills I learned in class and the digital tools that support it. Throughout this class I learned to use the formative assessments as a way to connect to my students. The formatives we talked about in class will help me gauge my students strengths, interest and weaknesses to help change my lessons.
What I learned about summative assessments will enhance my classes in the future. I knew that summative assessments are an important aspect to any class but researching it a bit further I found that there is so much more to it. The podcast and articles we read helped me define what mastery is. I found that an assessment does not have to be the drab test we have given in the past. It can be a dynamic assessment with projects and other assignments.
The tools given during this class will now be part of the arsenal I use in my future lessons. Tools like badges, infographics and podcast will be part of my classes from now on. I see now how they can enhance my class and make learning fun and engaging.
I would recommend this class to any of my colleagues who are looking to enhance their classes. It was a great way to understand formative and summative assessments while using up to date technology.
