Week 13 Assignment
Technology based rubrics are great to have when working on technology projects. Using rubrics in the classroom allows students to follow steps of what is expected on the projects and lets students have a better understanding of how to organize the project.
Using clicker assessment tools in the classroom is a great way for the teacher to get instant feedback from the class on a topic. Using these clickers allows an entire class to be engaged in participation of the class without being singled out. I think that I could use these clicker tools in my special education classroom for some simple visual thinking assignments.
The Kidspiration Software is great software for helping students that have a hard time with learning. It allows students a visual aspect to help with organizing their thoughts and how things actually work. Working with special needs children I think lessons using pictures to breakdown certain subjects could be modified enough to use this site to help in their learning needs.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteWhile Inspiration Software is great for students who struggle in the classroom, it is also a very beneficial tool for the majority of your students.
Over 60 percent of students in an average class are visual learners, meaning they comprehend and retain information better when it is presented visually. We published a blog post on this in September. To view this post, go to http://www.inspiration.com/blog/2010/09/do-you-see-what-im-saying/.
