I use Aims web to target my students who are struggling and who are above level. I Really like how Aims web has progress monitoring set up. Weekly, I give probes to my students who are struggling in reading fluency and Math computation. I feel these are great tools to monitor my struggling students in these two areas.
    I learned how to print separate reports. I find this very useful. I felt like the maze probe was very distorted being printed on the same page as reading fluency.

I have used Pearson Successnet for all of my math pre and post tests. I love creating my own tests. Students love taking the test online. The best part is that I don't have to correct the assessment. This saves me time and it is already in an excel file that I can come pare a pre test and a post test. I am looking forward to using The reading test to do the same thing. I feel that these are very valuable tools for our reading and math program. I love how the tools are already in place. The students have an easy time logging in and taking the test. I feel that here is less test anxiety for CRTs when the students are preparing using the computers early on to take tests.

Thanks, LeeAnne for taking great notes!
Assessment tools: presentations

-Includes a timestamp, so that you know when you did the assessment
-Summaries in graph or spreadsheet
-question formats: checkboxes, scales, open-ended etc…
-Combine with flubaroo

Peer Assessment

Peers grading peers can be a powerful motivator.  Kids like to do well for each other.
Peers can evaluate presentations, information in presentation, etc…
You can post project on youtube, then students could evaluate at their leisure.
Use voice thread to let students leave feedback.
Ratings stars or thumbs up and thumbs down from Poll Daddy
Poll Daddy, Survey Monkey, and Google Docs to help with forms

You can include the prompts inside the panels.
Use the camera to take pictures of math work.  Show your knowledge with words and pictures.
Book reviews.  Take a picture of the student holding the book.  Do a screen capture of the doc to put into imovie.  You could print 4 to a page to save ink.  What do you like?  Why should someone else read it? 
PUT SAFE PICTURES IN A FOLDER FOR STUDENTS TO ACCESS!

Wordle and Tagxedo

Make a word bank at the beginning of a unit.  Make another at the end of the unit.

Make a list of words using a specific rule.  (long a words, rimes, sh words)

Pirate treasure hunt:  Solve a problem, input the number to get new coordinate.

Plug in points on a ‘track’.  Where is the beginning?  Where is the rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution?

I like the idea of UTIPS.  I like that you can pull their questions or create your own.  I think that having that option is important since some of their questions may have problems since they are CRT rejects.  Even though I think it is a great assessment option, I do not see myself using it.  I like the idea of using clickers with my second graders.  Not only do I get the data to help inform my teaching, but the kids are better engaged with the  clickers.  It is more game like.  UTIPS tests are great practice for students who take CRTS at the end of the year.  It not only gives their teachers the data, but gets them used to individual computer testing.

I created A utips quiz and had my students take the test. They did really well. I am

 Today, I went to 5 different mini classes to learn about assessment tools available online or on iOS Devices.

1. I started off with Nearpod - Socrative.. I learned how to add polls and questions to PPt presentations.  Nearpod.com is the site that i want to visit to create the presentation, then I can have people log in on their device and take the polls along with me.  Socrative= Socrative.com/ students then I will be assigned a room . This is a web-based program. This will make it easy to implement this tool in my class. I have many devices that are web-based in my room.

2. Flubaroo- This was a very neat tool. I really liked that I could use google docs that I have created already. How to add Flubaroo; Create your google doc, then add a script. Select Flubaroo and add. I feel that this is will be a great tool to use in my classroom.

3. Poll Daddy. I feel that this will be a simple way to add a survey or poll for information. I lie taht Poll Daddy can be embedded into my weebly. This is a simple click and drag into my post.

4. Arcademics- I have used Arcademics many times before and I have never considered it an assessment tool. I have used the teacher account and feel comfortable with how it works. I will be using this more frequently in my classroom.

5. ESlvideo.com I really liked how i could find any video from youtube and add comprehension questions that i felt were relevant to the topic. I also really liked that I could access other quizzes that other teachers had made.


I feel that There are many Assessment tools that can be used as an informal way to see what students know. Technology is a marvelous tool to help accomplish this.
