ATI Summer Conference

Shari Conditt and I presented this morning at the ATI/ETS Summer Conference. Our session, Practical Applications and the Role of Technology in Assessment FOR Learning, focused on how we have applied Assessment FOR Learning strategies in our own classrooms for the past four years and how we use technology to help us assess student learning.

We shared our syllabi and how we introduce our assessment practices to students and parents, assessment software that we use such as ExamView  from FSCreations and Hot Potatoes from Half-Baked Software Inc. (see previous post), how we use our eInstruction “clickers” (aka student response systems), and mathcasts.

I hope to post portions of our presentation soon.

If you attended our session and have questions or comments, feel free to post your comments here or to send an email. :)

In particular, will share how I am currently using ExamView and Hot Potatoes (LOVE the spuds!) online assessments, eInstruction student response systems, and mathcasts.
