Design a Modern Assessment Content Standard: Locate a core curriculum standard that you would like to focus on and

write it in here. (Underline the nouns / circle the verbs)

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.6 Distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text.

Knowledge/Concepts What do your students need to know/understand? List the nouns you circled above: Pictures Illustrations Text

Skills What do your students need to be able to do? List the verbs you circled above: Distinguish

Write a Student Learning Objective (in student friendly language) that is Aligned to Your Standard

-At the end of this lesson you should be able to use clues from pictures and illustrations to help you understand the story. -By the end of class you should be able to tell me the similarities and the differences between the pictures and the words in the text.

Traditional Assessment - Evidence of Student Mastery In a low tech more traditional setting, how would you know if your students met the objectives you set?

It would be evident that the students have met the objective without the use of technology by having the students answer questions about the illustrations and the text either by writing or out loud.

Describe the Technological Tool You Will be Using as Part of this Assessment (http://abletech.wikispaces.com/) Prezi or Power Point can be used to display the list of the similarities and the differences between text and illustrations. Kerpoof can be used to have the students create their own stories and illustrations that they then can use to complete the standard CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.1.6.

Which of our essential skills will you expect your students to exhibit in this assessment? (Minimum of 3)

Leadership Practical Life Skills Adaptability X Interpersonal/Collaboration Global Brokerage Well Roundedness X Communication X Critical Thinking

Describe Your Vision for your Revamped Assessment - Evidence of Student Mastery In a modern setting, how would you know if your students met the objectives you set? Which technology tool will you use? How will you incorporate the technology? How/where will you weave the important 21st century skills that we identified (leadership, practical life skills, adaptability, interpersonal, global brokerage, well roundedness, communication, critical thinking)?

In order to help students meet the objectives I have set, I will use the technological tools that Kerpoof offers. This website offers tools that students can create their own stories with illustrations. They will be able to collaborate with other students or create their story on their own. By doing this I can help students to be more creative and enhance their critical thinking. The students will share their stories with other students and by doing this their communication should be improved as well as having met or made movements to meeting the set objective. In addition, Power Point or Prezi can be used to organize the information and ideas that students come up with to distinguish between information provided by pictures or other illustrations and information provided by the words in a text.

What Do You See as the Benefits and Possible Pitfalls of Your New Modern Assessment? Benefits: Possible Pitfalls:

Students will meet the objective Creative and Fun activity Students should be able to express themselves Students can work on their story/illustrations at home or out of class Could be useful for students outside of lesson

- Students can get distracted from the task easily - Students may not meet the objective - Potential for difficulties with website - Students may be new to website - Comprehension of the website and tools necessary for the completion may take time.

Lab Sheet Use this sheet to document/keep track of your top 5 technology tools (in no particular order) as you participate in tonights lab. Technology Tool #1 What is the name of this tech tool? Kerpoof Why did it stand out to you? This website stood out to me because its platform extends from K-8th grade. This website can be used especially for younger students with applications like tell a picture or story, make a movie, card, drawing, picture and various other tools. Students can learn and be creative with this website and learn not only computer skills but literature, reading, and art can be easily implemented. Technology Tool #2 What is the name of this tech tool? Creaza Why did it stand out to you? This stood out to me for its ability to improve students creativity, storytelling, thinking, and communication, and its interactive website. It clearly allowed for students to explore and learn in a different way that traditional learning does not allow for. It also can be taken home to be worked on. Technology Tool #3 What is the name of this tech tool? Storybird Why did it stand out to you? I thought this website was interesting because it allows students to get creative and use technology at the same time. Also, you have the option to share your work and the students work. Their stories and books can be purchased by others if desired. Can allow for a lesson in business too! There are kid friendly competitions. Unique stories! Technology Tool #4 What is the name of this tech tool? Quizlet Why did it stand out to you? This allows for an interactive study guide/ practice test that students can access from home

Technology Tool #5 What is the name of this tech tool? Socrative Why did it stand out to you? This website caught my interest becausae of the use of technology like cell phones to take polls. It also allows for educational games, reports, and quizzes. This would be a good way to take a typical distraction and use it to engage the students in the lesson.
