Meaningful Learning

Paragraph 1: Technology Based Rubrics

I think rubrics are very important because it lets students see how they were assessed. It also serves as a guide for teachers on what specific information they should look for when they are grading. I'd definitely use rubrics in my classroom for projects. This would be beneficial for students so they can see how they earned their grade and not lead them to think they were just given one.

Paragraph 2: Clicker Assessment Tools

I think that clicker assessment tools would be best used when teaching mathematics. It's definitely a great way to engage students in lectures and facilitate their participation. I also think this would be a great way to review in class for a test. It's a great way for teachers to see the class' comprehension.

Paragraph 3: Inspiration/Kidspiration Software

Inspiration and Kidspiration Software is designed for grades k-5 and enhances literacy skills and numeracy skills. I would use this at a center for my younger students. It will definitely be a great resource for students to use to strengthen their academic ability.
