"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."

Assessment Forms

Today's assignment involved designing a content quiz with the the use of the 'forms' application of Google Docs. I designed the following quiz around principles of grammar that are covered in secondary-level English classes.




The quiz can also be accessed by clicking here.

TPACK
As discussed in "Presentation Games," teaching English requires the integration of current, historic, and developing linguistic and literary materials, events, topics, and movements into the class (CK). The assessment and evaluative applications of the process used in this assignment are multidimensional and relevant to review, testing, and recreational classroom objectives. Products using this application can additionally be established and maintained alongside my lectures, presentations, and student activities (P), in order to pursue content comprehension, convergence, and application, as well as assess student learning outcomes. The development and online accessibility of my assessment tools (T), can greatly assist me in creating, using, and evaluating instructional methods/materials.

Relation to standards
The process of developing internet accessible assessments relates to several ISTE NETS standards, but primarily meets the vision of #2: Design and develop digital age learning experiences by providing students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching.

Integration
As an English Teacher I will be required to teach English language and literature and evaluate my instructional effectiveness at the same time. The use and incorporation of assessment forms in my instruction will serve to provide critical formative data and inform my instructional methods, which might collaboratively be used to maintain my effectiveness as a teacher.
