TWT2010_3.+Using+Technology+as+Assessment+Tool+in+the+LS+Classroom

Description:
In my workshop, I plan to share four projects that use technology as an assessment tool in Grade 1. The first two projects are iMovies based around our Social Studies unit of community. In the first movie, students interview each other and share their research with the group via VoiceThread, an educational sharing tool. The second iMovie highlights our School Jobs Study for Social Studies. In this movie, I followed and interviewed students who were shadowing the Lower School's Security and Maintenance personnel. This use of technology allowed students to share their learning with other members of our community. I also will share a digital story telling project from writer's workshop. Using Garage Band, students were able to record their stories and draw pictures to match. Lastly, I hope to share a project that assess a student's listening comprehension/reading skills with MicroWorlds.
