TECHNOLOGY used for ASSESSMENT
Before class, I knew a minimal amount about this topic of tech tools used to assess student learning. I had seen Kahoot! used in class, and I have used Moodle throughout my education so I would refer to those two sites as a form of assessment that is used in today's classrooms. But what I didn't know was that there are so many more sites that teachers can use! So, while preparing for this class I played with Go Soap Box, Go Formative, and Screenchomp. These sites were all great for formative, and summative assessment through technology. But they are also very different from one another so I would recommend playing with them before using them in the classroom.

This is better compared to having papers, projects, and other junk piling up on your desk. This is key for teachers who want to finish grading in a timely fashion and to really study their students' progress throughout the year. This changed my understanding of assessment because I always though of it as grading written tests and quizzes. But in actuality, this is a new age where technology can replace a lot of tedious acts such as single-handly grading tests.
