Formative Assessment

You will identify examples of formative assessment, discuss their characteristics, and reflect on why each scenario either qualifies or does not qualify. - Each group reads through the scenarios. - For each scenario, decide:- Is this formative assessment? Yes/No - Which characteristics of formative assessment does it show? - How could it be improved? Assign a “lead detective” to record answers and report out

Learning First, Technology Second

- Defining Engagement

Engagement as a Foundation• Engaging students in meaningful learning experiences is important.Motivation and Interest• Technology can be used to spark students’ motivation and interest in learning.Active Participation• Technology tools can encourage students to participate actively and interact with content.

Learning First, Technology Second

Defining Enhancement + Extension

Google Classroom Practice: Create and Assign Discussion PromptsFor this activity, you will practice creating and managing assignments in Google Classroom while connecting to your reading. - Create two assessments in Google Classroom. - One prompt and one multiple choice: they should relate to Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of your course reading. - Make your assessments clear and engaging so your classmates can respond thoughtfully. - Assign the assessments to your group members in class. - Respond to your group members’ prompts thoughtfully. Treat this like a real assignment; provide meaningful answers.

Defining Enhancement + Extension

Google Classroom Practice: Create and Assign Discussion PromptsInclude your assignment in Google Classroom: Ensure it is set up as a graded assignment Provide feedback to your group members on their responses Extension (Optional): You can include extra resources, examples, or links in your assignment to enhance your classmates’ understanding (like these videos, PDF files of the chapters etc). This activity will give you hands-on experience creating, assigning, grading, and providing feedback in Google Classroom; skills you’ll use in real teaching scenarios.

Video Analysis of Teaching Enactment

Video Analysis of Teaching Enactment

During this semester, you will present a technology-integrated lesson to your mentor teacher’s class that demonstrates Leading a Group Discussion, and capture a video of the lesson.For this assignment, you will analyze your video.

  • Describe what you did well and what needs improvement.
  • Clearly outline the steps you will take to improve in the future.
  • When designing this lesson, address the concepts discussed in Learning First, Technology Second, engaging students in learning, enhancing lessons, and, if appropriate, extending the learning.
  • You do not need to submit a lesson plan for this lesson, but the lesson should demonstrate thoughtful planning, connection to the content being taught, and best practices in instruction. (10 points)

Pre-Enactment Group Discussion Brainstorm!

We’re going to take some time to brainstorm and practice ideas for your group discussion. This is a low-pressure way to explore your approach and get feedback from a peer: ➢ Pair up with a classmate (outside your group). ➢ Pick a topic or subject area you want to teach for your enactment. ➢ Take 10 minutes to bounce ideas off each other. Focus on:➢ What the discussion might look like in your classroom ➢ How you would engage students and encourage participation ➢ How you might incorporate technology to support or enhance the discussionGive and receive feedback: Listen to each other’s ideas and suggest ways to make the discussion more engaging or clear. The goal is to leave with a stronger plan and some fresh ideas before you record your actual lesson. Be creative, supportive, and have fun with it!

Before Next Session

Using a formative assessment tool of your choice (e.g., Formative, Seesaw, Google Forms, or the additional resources of 21 Things for Educators), design a practice assessment related to a specific learning objective or topic. • Content: Your assessment should include a mix of question types (e.g., multiple-choice, short answer, and/or interactive elements). • Purpose: The purpose of this assessment is to gauge student understanding during a lesson, allowing for immediate feedback. NOTE: - Keep your assessment concise and focused on the learning objective. - Ensure clarity in your questions and response options. - Use technology features effectively to enhance engagement and feedback.

Please decide on a date for the enactment with your mentor; this is due December 1st!

Thank You!

We will continue learning

At the start of the semester, you will create a Google document based on the template we provide. That document will be shared with all Seminar instructors. Throughout each four-week module, you will turn in field notes related to that particular area of focus, with one entry for every time you are in the field. For this rotation, you will share what you have observed as it relates to teaching students using technology to enhance teaching and learning. At the end of the semester, this document will be uploaded to SL&L. (5 points each)

Technology integration assignments

As you progress through your professional courses, you will continue to enhance your electronic portfolio. Each semester, you will add new components to ensure it is comprehensive and ready for potential employers by your internship. This semester, you will expand your e-portfolio by adding: (20 points) 1- Professional Growth Section:Professional Learning Network (PLN): Upload your latest PLN. 2- My Teaching Section: Video Evidence of Core Practice: Upload a video demonstrating the enactment of at least one core practice. 3- My Classroom Section:Introduction Letter: Upload your letter that introduces yourself to parents and students. Classroom Newsletter: Upload your newsletter that you would send to students' families.

We learn a lot from the comments and insights of others. Your participation reflects the degree and quality of your contributions from your readings and other preparations, as well as the sharing of relevant ideas and experiences. You will be evaluated based upon the quality and frequency of your responses and contributions in class and during group work. Absence, tardiness, and early departure affect this grade because those that are not present are unable to participate. (5 points weekly)

Many school districts make use of a learning management system for organizing digital tools, creating, distributing, and assessing student work, communicating with students, and recording grades. Your task is to create a tailored Google Classroom for a grade level of your choice, focusing on age-appropriate presentation and functionality. Construct a visually engaging Google Classroom encompassing: • Visual Design: Develop an organizational layout and a banner image reflecting your classroom' sessence for the specific age group. • Content Organization: Arrange topics by subject area or weeks in a manner suitable for the grade level. • Assignments: Create four assignments. Assess at least two student assignments, providing feed back and grades. • Announcement: Craft a class announcement. Compile evidence of your Google Classroom setup into a slide deck with appropriately labeled screenshotsfor submission. (20 points)
