tech pre-test assessment

I like the idea of creating a technology pre-test given to students before they start a class. It is important that the instructor know exactly where the student's capabilities are...so we do'nt have to spend a large amount of class time getting folks on board. I got this idea from Heidi Olson. One challenge that I see is that often times students register at the last minute.

helpful assessment tool

I have found the following assessment tools to be of help this week include: creating the essential and unit questions, the evidence along with their assessments. In developing the assessments, I have come to realize the different types of technology that I want to utilize within my classroom.

The information tech age

There are so many ways to retrieve information as I've learned this morning. With this in mind, how do I as an instructor appeal to all different types of student's tech capabilities. Many may be of an immigrant status and others will be not. Students who are not comfortable with this technology, the instructor will need to spend more time getting the non-traditional student up to speed. My thoughts also include the importance of understanding where students may be at in terms of understanding the tech that I may incorporate within the classroom setting.
