Check Lists- Could use google docs as a form of a rubric.  The google docs could be used as a form for behavior.
    Check lists could be used to quickly to define how a student is doing.  It is an easy way to take notes on students to see if the student has met mastery.

Peer Assessments-It is very powerful to have peers evaluate peers.
    Students could grade each other using google docs.
    Survey monkey could be used as another peer assessment tool.
    Voicethread is a great way to peer assess.  They can give comments.

Wordle and Tagxedo
a fun way to assess students with words.  You could have them write 5 nouns, 5 adjectives, etc.
itsagreatdaytobeabeetdigger.weebly.com to get ideas.
Tagxedo will allow you to put in numbers.

Prezi-Can be used as an assessment tool by having them fill it in as you show the prezi.

iMovie can be used as a digital story.  They could use iMovie for podcasting. This is a great alternate assessment for students where they can use pictures, movies, and voice to help demonstrate their knowledge.

UTIPS is a great source where teachers can create tests to guide their students through the core curriculum.  There is an account unique to Canyons District that you can get to by going to canyons.utips.org. 
One thing I like about UTIPS is the fact that I can use test questions that have already been created or I can add my own questions.  When using questions that have been created for me, the questions are set to match the core curriculum.  They are set with the standards.  Therefore, when you assign those questions, you are able to see which standards particular students may need to focus more time on. 

When creating my own questions, I can create multiple choice or I can set up free response.  One thing that I liked about the free response sections is that it t allows you to create and add a rubric for grading purposes.  This would make grading more fair.

After creating the tests, they can be saved to your account.  Therefore, you do not have to create the same test over and over.  The tests can be shared too.  This could be helpful and save time as a teacher shares it with their colleagues.  The teachers could each take a section, create a test, and then share the tests. 

UTIPS seemed to be really user friendly.  Another benefit is that students only need to have one account with it, and they can add multiple classes to their account.  This way, every teacher in the school could create UTIPS tests without having to create new accounts for every student!

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.

I never got a chance to use Clickers in my classroom before.  They look like a great resource.  I think they would be a great morning start or could be used as a quick check after recess.  The students could pick them up on their way in, have them turned on and ready, and then be ready to start when the teacher turns on the test.  I like the way they can answer many different types of questions.  They can do numbers, T/F,  fill in the blank, multiple choice, etc.  In math, a teacher could put up a story problem.  The students could work on it and then fill in the answer. 

Another great thing about clickers is that it gives the teacher the ability to do a quick survey to see if the students are grasping the concept.  After the students have all answered, the teacher can go to the graph and check out the results.  If the students are consistently getting them correct, the concept has been mastered. 

By having every child use the same clicker every time, a teacher will be able to look at individual scores and it can be used as a great assessment piece.  I am not saying use it for every assessment, but I think it would be a great tool every once in a while. 

I really liked how you could bring in PDF's to build your test.  This would make it a lot easier because you wouldn't have to type every test from scratch. 

Ialso really liked how you could still use the paper test, but have the students respond to the test using their clickers.  This would make for very quick correcting.  I think would still have the students hand in their work.

One drawback to Clickers is that they might take some time at first.  Like any new tool or routine, it takes students a little while to get the hang of it.  Clickers will be the same way.  Yet, students catch on really fast, and I bet it wouldn't take long before they have the Clickers
