Course reflection week 5
Wrapping up this week, I have read lots through these five weeks that reaffirms ideas I have and am excited about using in my classroom. We know that technology for social media, news, information, etc are always updated instantaneously. The use of technology is a powerful tool in our classes. With proper guidance, students are able to readily check their progress and receive instant feedback. It is a great way for assessing formatively. Previous, my students would have to wait a few days until I finally ran through all the papers to grade. I am currently using the Flubaroo script on Google Drive spreadsheet to grade quizzes and tests. In a few minutes it will grade and email each student results. The results are shown question by question if they got it correct or wrong. From this point, students are able to come in and work on correcting and discuss where they went wrong and receive further needed instruction.
Our students also have access to the most current and relevant information to the curriculum and concepts we teach them. By allowing them time to discover, process, and apply knowledge they find and handle, it helps develop problem solving tools. They make connections from the information learned to ways they will need to apply it. We are limited only by our own fears and insecurities about technology.
