Digital Badge k ch.11

            In chapter 11 I read about engaging students in performing assessments and reflective learning. The title of the chapter means how students can get engage in the learning process with teaches having assessments to do. An assessment is a central to the work of teaching. Assessments features three interrelated elements they are new teacher assessments, student assessments, and student-self assessments/
           The first element how a supervisor will assess your work.This is titled as new teacher assessment. Before, you become a teacher your going to have to pass a few assessments. Such as, a state teacher license, being observed in a classroom this is usually done your last semester as an internship.Also, you will have to do summaries of what you have learned in academics, class management, and relationship to colleagues/parents. These are assessments needed to be completed before you become a teacher.
           Next, is where the student assessment comes into place. How will you assess students learning and your own effectiveness. This is where you can incorporate technology when your giving out assessments. As a teacher you will be expected to do the following complete record grades, report cards, conduct meeting as well. To have an increase on those results technology is the best way to go. Students now use technology for everything that's what there use to. So as teacher you should be keeping up with it so your students don't get bored.
       Lastly, there is student self assessment. This means his how the student will participate in the assessment process. Technology helps out with this by two ways. Using projects will show your evaluator skills as a teacher and using tools to evaluate the students learning process. Technology bring that to a complete circle. Using technology instead of test and worksheets makes the student more interested in the topic. Especially, with the older kids using media websites does engage them more.
