Assessing Student Learning
TPE 2: Monitoring Students During Learning
TPE3: Interpretation and Use of Assessments

How can technology help you assess student learning?
Assessment has always been a sore subject with me. How do we say that a test is the ONLY way to see if a student is learning? Or how can homework be the ONLY way a student shows progress? Yet we learn so much from assessing growth or the lack there of.
I like what the TPE 2 and 3 stated about really looking at and seeing what children need work on or what they learned. Going back and repeating a lesson might not always be practical but it might also be what students need to reinforce an idea. The website I found most affective for this section hit on students portfolios and what they can do for you and your student. It asks students to tell you what THEY got from class. It gives such suggestions as doing a monthly or year end section to the portfolio so students can see their progress. I agree wholeheartedly in using alternatives other than tests and homework to see progress.
