      Educational Tools

      Before writing our discussion posts, we were asked to take a moment to review the PPT file linked below (which I did not do, and thus my two entries). There are several assistive resources highlighted in the PPT that can be used in and outside the classroom. We were to take some time to get acquainted with each of the tools. If needed, we were to create a login and spend some time navigating each resource. Finally, we were to consider the following questions for each tool: These are important questions to consider.

      Formative and Summative Assessment Differentiation

      In the week 2 discussion for ITL 608, we were to differentiate among formative and summative assessments and give examples of how each might be used in our own expected teaching situation. What are some issues that could affect the reliability of classroom assessment? What are some issues that could affect the validity of an assessment? What are some examples of bias that we have experienced in assessment situations? Educational assessment uses both formative and summative evaluations, though they serve different purposes. Formative assessments are ongoing and designed to guide instructional adjustments during the learning process. In a 10th-grade math...
