Evaluation is an essential part of any planning the
deals with change. Instructional technology deals with a lot of assessing and
evaluation. As I was looking to add to my PLN, I came across this evaluation
tool for facilitating instructional technology form North Carolina. It is a self-assessment
tool that could change for other assessments also
The ACT Policy Report was another good source that
evaluates the effectiveness of technology in our school. It is a report in the
other of the Horizon Report but it assesses the effectiveness of technology. It
inform policy makers and the general public on the important issues of
education by providing timely information that can directly enhance knowledge, dialogue,
and decision making.
This is web site is the government website for
education. There is a lot of good information there for teachers and students. There
evaluations, information about elementary and secondary education, and post-secondary education. You can also find career and technical education.
I found a few more that I haven't put here but will add to my PLN.
I like the Scholastic website because I love books. Some
may think that books are out of date, I don’t. I chose this website to pick my
five top teacher. Each has their own special thing to offer to the classroom
and will follow each of them on my twitter page and other that are considered experts in the field
of teaching.
Rhonda teaches in New Jersey she comes from a long
line of teachers. I chose to follow her because she is a young teacher and I
want follow what she does her 6 graders.
I liked the idea that this teacher wants to make
learning exciting for all her students. She teaches kindergarten in North Las
Vegas. I like many of her ideas
Teaches k-5 she is considered one of the top teachers
on the scholastic website. She is also resides in New York is always good to
see what’s happening around the country.
Kriscia teaches in California I like that she looks
for brilliance in all her students. She is another top teacher on the
scholastic website
John teaches writing for grade 5-8. One of his blogs
is on 5 fast formative assessments.
I have not used many of the Web 2.0 tools as of yet but think that they can be very useful in the classroom and in other learning environments. I 'm the kind of person that has to play around with different things in them. With such a great array of tools to work with teachers using their creativity and imagination should make these tools valuable.
