Reflection
Student success and understanding is measured through the assessments that educators provide. To truly deliver content that meets the needs of your students you must be able to differentiate and adapt instruction. One of the best ways to enhance your assessment data is by incorporating technology in the classroom. There are so many easy ways to utilize technology for formative and summative assessment that can provide instant feedback to students and teachers. This allows for students to gain an understanding on their progress and for teachers to be able to know how to proceed with instruction so that the end-goal of understanding can be met by the end of the year. Technology also allows for student submission to be more than just writings or paper documents. Students can now submit video reports, picture collages, or even playlists as an assignment document. The incorporation of technology in the classroom enhances data to a whole new level that pushes the barriers of ingenuity and creativity for the world of education.
