This week we had centers where we could go learn about different technology tools that could be used for assessment. I had the opportunity to teach about a website called arcademics.com. This website is a great source for teachers who do not know what to do with their students once they take them into the lab. By creating a teacher login, they can create a class. This allows the teacher to assign games and track student progress. The site is currently in Beta testing and is free, but I know it is planning on charging in the future. If a teacher does not care if the student is tracked, they have have the student practice their skills on the site without logging in. I used this with my student two years ago, and they LOVED it! They wanted to play it every time we went into the lab.
I did not get to go to any of the other presentations, but I plan on looking into them soon. I feel like the more I learn, the more I can share with others. I loved the idea of the rotations because they allow exposure to many different sites in a short amount of time. It is great to know that there are so many options for assessment besides a paper and pencil test.
