Week 15: Enhance assessment with the help of technology



(How to use technology to provide feedback)



Enhance assessment with the help of technology




This week was about the article "How to use technology to provide feedback" It involves suggestions and provision of comments to enable learners  to make their own revisions as a dialogue ,and also it helps to gain new understanding of the topic or their homework assigments without dictating. The impact of technology helps to be more interactive and easy at the same time. Many teachers use technological programs such as, JING, ScreenR and Screen_cast_o_matic to asses students via virtual learning environment .It enables learners to take responsibility for organizing their own learning; also, this facilitates which elements of assessment fit together and why they are relevant and valuable by giving clear on how students can improve their work including signposting the most important areas to address.

Something I learned and that I immediately wanted to share with my colleagues was useful and easy it could be provide feedback through technology. This promotes the ability to manage own personal response to feedback, personal adjustment, develop students' autonomy, enhance communication and interpersonal skills, and enable a sense of self-control.



As teachers, we have to know what helps the development of metacognition by enabling students to engage in their own learning to know which learning, teaching, and assessment strategies work best for them; as a result of this we can adapt strategies to develop their skills. Technology facilitates this type of assessment or feedback is easy to use, interactive, and useful in distance learning, save time for the teacher and students.

  1. Hi Nicole, I strongly agree with you when you and the author stated that the impact of technology helps us to interact more with students, and at the same time It helps us to save more time. I think that technology has made a big change in the teaching area because it has expanded the way we teach. Now we can use technology to provide feedback from home and with details without losing the communication with our students. I can't wait to apply these ideas with my students, would you use them for your future classes?

  2. Hi Nicole I totally agree with you when you say that the impact of technology help teachers to create interactive classes, as students we appreciate when teachers take their time to prepare the lesson, so it should be good to make the same for our future students. I think we are a little bit ready to use technology to provide feedback.
