In todays world technology has become more and more advanced. And in schools technology
seems to have taken a part of education teaching. Students-centered technology is as important as
any other learning approaches that are available to teach the students in schools. Technology to
support assessment is very important as well for teachers in order to get the students formative
and summative assessment.
Students centered learning focuses on educational practices and principles it provides students
equitable access to the knowledge and skills that are necessary to attend a college. Student
centered learning becomes more defined and increasing the attention to the tool and resources
that best suited to its successful adoption. Technology offers a more natural-and-learning, In
todays schools the student have an advantage computer ratio 4:1 and a teacher and student
population ready, willing and able to use technology (EDU Nellie Mac Education Foundation,
2011).
Assessment can be a complex process in formal learning contexts. The expectation of a student is
devising learning tasks from participation in a course or program of study, such as knowledge
skills and attitudes. To ensure further learning students needs to assess performance and
interpreting the results and to use the information required to enhance their future learning to
produce a grade. In order for assessment to be valid measure of learning for formative or
summative purposes understanding of how disciplinary knowledge and skills are required and of
the trajectory of their development (Nicol, 2008).
Technology that teachers use can be an assistance to assess strength and needs. Two main
approaches to technology supported assessment assist (Nicol, 2008). That is mastery approach
that is tied to accountability systems, it enables teachers to benchmark. As they progress to
standard-based curriculum. The other one would be access understanding which this helps
students produce a picture of the thinking, in which both approaches help students have a clear
baseline teachers can help students and serve them based on their learning needs and steering
them to the curriculum that best meets their needs.
Technology can support task design for assessment in a variety of ways and it enables more
flexibility in the timing of the assessment. When there is clarity of the task goals and flexibility
students then have control over the learning and assessment enhancing opportunities for selfregulations. Tools for objective testing within virtual learning and dedicated assess allows
teachers to orchestrate frequent assessment testing. Teachers can then offer flexibility in the time
and place of the assessment and can encourage students classrooms. Because technology is
highly customized and motivated to students it becomes well-suited to expand the learning
experiences. In todays teaching environment the use of any type of technology can be
beneficial in both kids assessment and is already widely used in classrooms today (Monique06,
2013)

Week 6 Assessment Test

Using computers in the creation of a test can be beneficial to both
teachers and students. The use of any type of technology can be beneficial
in both kinds of assessment and is already widely used in many schools.
Criteria and goal setting with students engaging them in instruction and the
learning process by creating clear expectations, in order for any test, lesson
or teaching to be successful. Web Quest is a website that has been designed
to help teachers have a tool that is easy and avielable free of charge. It is
can help teachers find the learning weaknesses of the students and the
strength, by using ether summative assessment or formative assessment.
Technology to Facilitate Ongoing Efforts to Assess Student
Learning
In order for teachers to have a close relationship with the students
they need have an understanding of their learning background and their
weaknesses and strength. Technology helps teachers solve the problems that
may come up when students are missing on learning development. Using
tools to design testing to monitor how they are doing in class and what they
have missed on the lesson is a good way to incorporate summative
assessment. A website that is design to do just that is Web Quest. This
website can be used to help the teacher design test that can help provide
what the weakness and strength of the student has at the time. Students can

take online testing and can use technology to take the test, there are so
many good tools that the students can use such as, V clickers, iPad, and
whiteboard and there are many website that teachers can use to design test
and other instructional assessment to facilitate the teacher for instruction.
Lino, it is a virtual corkboard of stick-notes so students can provide questions
or comments on their learning. Poll Everywhere, teachers can create a
feedback poll or ask questions. Students then respond in various ways and
teachers see the results in real time. This are just some examples of many
technology that can be used for instructional use. The Class Maker is a good
tool for teachers to design test and keep a good understanding on how the
students are developing in instruction time.
Class Maker
The Class Maker can provide teachers with feedback on who needs
more instructional needs and what their strength are individually. By
designing test every Friday of the week the teacher can then know if the
students are ready to move on to the next lesson. It also provides the
teacher with a view how many students are in task and how many students
are staying behind. This is a good way to use as data analyzation to keep
track of students learning skills. It can assist with providing current historical
data of the students test reports. Teachers can have an understanding of
how much effectiveness is happening in the lesson that was given.
Class Maker

Class Maker is a tool that teachers can use to improve development in knowledge and can
show them what is needed to improve academically for each student. Teachers can use it to
collect information of the student improvement and weakness as well. By designing test that can
help them improve literacy and measure their growth of individual as well as whole group
learning. This is a tool that teachers can use to improve and decide what you need to change for
their learning advantages. www.classmaker.com is a free testing site that allows teachers to
develop test that are set and marked online (Clay, 2011).

This is a quiz I well be using in the form of an assessment to determine
what my students have learned and understood before I start giving the
content of my lesson for the following week. It well help me understand any
changes that must be done before any other lesson instruction I will be
giving my class for the following week. This use of this assessment will also
help my students analyze what they have to do to improve their learning
skills as individuals. As a teacher it can help me analysis and interpret any
data and inform decisions that positively affect my students.
(Formative and Summative Assessments)
Formative assessment is less formal and takes place throughout the
teaching and learning process. It is Explain the difference between formative
assessment and summative assessment and how technology be used to
facilitate both. Formative assessment happens during teaching and should
be ongoing it allows teachers to adjust a mode of teaching mid-lesson. In

order to gain better understanding to be most affective is not only conducted

by teachers but also be conducted by students as well summative
assessment.

Pros and Cons of using Technology to Facilitate Assessment

The pros of using technology to facilitate assessment is that they are
easy access to the teacher and students. They can be used as formative
assessment and summative assessment to help students and teachers keep
score of the score data and analyze what type of changes are needed
improve their learning skills. Teachers can use it to distinguish what level of
students are in the classroom. The pros of having the access of this tool is
being able to design any type of test without having to use paper and if they
do what to use paper they may always make copies for later use.

Concluding Paragraph for Software to Support Assessment

In todays teaching it is important to analyze all the aspects of
tools that are available for instructional use. In this case Class
Maker well help provide all assistance in designing test for my
students. The lesson that was used for the test was, How the Earth
can change quickly. Students were able to understand the meaning
of earth erosion and what effects the earth changes, such as wind
and water. Using a simple project and having the students

patriciate as scientist and engineers. Students are able to

understand what the deference of what effects the earth changes.
Conclusion
Therefore teachers have the ability to help students improve in many
areas that are needed for their learning skills and development. Teachers
using formative assessment can monitor students learning to provide
learning and ongoing feedback that can be used by instructors to improve
their teaching and by students to improve their learning skills. It is form of
gaining an understanding of what the student knows and does not know in
order for the teacher to make any changes in teaching and learning
techniques. It important for the teachers observation and classroom
discussion test. Teachers can use summative assessment it is a formal
assessment used to determine what a student has learn and understand
about a given subject. In all type of teaching it is very important to make
sure that student data is collected and recorded so that the teacher informed
of what is needed to improve any educational problems that may come up.
In all, teachers are the ones who are responsible for all that is needed and
what is to be used for the classroom lessons.
