Use in the
classroom:
*explanations are written individually under
each section (multimedia, rubric, poll/survey)
1. Multimedia
assessment (50) – Playposit.com
Objective: Students will be introduced to the states
previously referred to as the 13 Colonies.
Students will identify the 3 regions of the 13 Colonies and explain the characteristics
that defined those regions.
The video is an introduction to the 13 colonies. Students should know the names of the 3
regions, the 13 states within the regions, and primary distinguishing
characteristics in those regions. The introduction to the students will use the
video along with note-taking, and discussion. They will also complete an
activity with a map and labeling the states.

Rubric for
Project-based Learning Assessment (25)
I would use this rubric for students
to first self-assess their own work. Then
it can be used to score a classmate’s work.
Finally, it will be use when I grade the final draft. Students should reflect on the scores they
gave themselves compared to that of a peer and the teacher. Were the scores similar?
I kept the rubric fairly general so it
can be used for a variety of 5-paragraph writing assignments. Students should see a common and consistent
rubric to make their own grading more effective. I would model grading assignments and would
complete several examples with the class participating so students feel
comfortable and confident using the rubric.
ASSESSMENT- Exit Tickets are used
primarily at the end of a lesson to show understanding of the day’s math lesson/skill. It can be used many different ways including
as a pre-assessment and for grouping students.
The data shows which students have mastered the skill and which students
still need assistance.
I will give the “Plicker” Exit Ticket as extra credit to finish at home
(saving paper, no copies). If they are
unable to, students will complete as a warm-up the next day. Use data to see who as mastered the skills
and how students should be pulled into smaller groups for reteaching, etc.
The question are shown below.
Questions come in part from the Eureka 4th grade math curriculum.
Application:
The redundancy principal says
students shouldn’t have to listen and read at the same time, to avoid
confusion. The video/assessment on the
13 Colonies was meant for the students to listen and take notes. Students could then focus all on the
information they are hearing. The questions are set aside visually only.
I also thought about the segmenting principal
and how it is easier to learn information in parts. I tried to break the video up into chunks,
and continuing a pattern of questions: region, states and then characteristics of
the region. The repetition in structure
is helpful to students as well.
Reflection:
I enjoyed creating
online polls like the exit ticket I offered as extra credit at home. I also have access to ActiveVotes which is a
polling tool used with ActiveInspire boards.
The front-end process is often complicated; so many teachers don’t set
it up. I feel though it would be worth
it to have the data that can be saved and used for grouping and individual
instructional needs.
The growth I had
this week was my realization that I should be doing more online polls and
assessments. It is engaging for the
students and it is a great source of data for me. It will also be a fun tool when students
begin units that deal with collecting data, graphs and tables.
