In this section we learned about rubrics, inspiration and clickers. I already knew about rubrics and think that they are the best way to grade a written paper. It helps to eliminate the bias while grading papers. It gives a clear value to each item that is graded. Inspiration is pretty cool also. It helps put ideas into a concept map in an easy way. his would be a useful tool in any class. But, the tool that I thought would be most fun to use is the clickers. I think that this tool would make assessment of student knowledge quick and easy. It would help give the teacher an accurate start point according to the student understanding from the last lesson. Additionally, it would help the teacher determine how much the students are retaining from the class. A quick review can be given at the end of the class and then the same review at the beginning of the next class. Also this tool would be fun to compare the student’s opinion on certain points and compare them to state or national opinions.
I have found this to be a fun and interesting class. I learned about a lot of tools that are free online and that help give information to students in a fun and different way. I will use many of the items that I learned about in my classes when I'm a teacher. My students will be able to see other countries without leaving the classroom. They will be emerged in technology without even realizing it and I will teach them many things they do not know. I hope to continue learning about the different tools available to teachers. One of my favorite tools we learned about was prezi. Although it was a little difficult to work, it gives a new and interesting way to present information. Another favorite that I hope to incorporate is wiki sites. I will allow the students to create their own study guides and this will be their daily homework. This way, I will know exactly how is working on the tasks and what they are retaining from the lessons.
