Educational technology leaders communicate research on the use of technology to implement effective assessment and evaluation strategies. Educational technology leaders:

a. Apply technology in assessing student learning of subject matter using a variety of assessment techniques.

Artifact: Online Course Design
Course: MEDT 7472
Semester: Summer 2009

NETS Reflection:  During this assignment, I used a varied assortment of assessments.  Students were required to participate in discussion boards, complete practice problems, work in groups to prepare presentations, and take the module quiz.  All of these assignments are submitted electronically via the Internet. As this is an online course design, technology is inherent in the design. 

b. Use technology resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results, and communicate findings to improve instructional practice and maximize student learning.

Artifact: Evaluation Plan
Course: MEDT 8480
Semester: Spring 2010

NETS Reflection:  For this assignment, I am evaluating the use of the Study Island program within our school.  I am comparing the data from classes and students who use the program with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test scores. Both Study Island and MAP scores are obtained electronically from their respective web sites. These type of data collection is very efficient in terms of the collection process.  It also makes for a much easier comparison.  This is a preliminary evaluation to see if there exists a correlation between the scores. 

c. Apply multiple methods of evaluation to determine students' appropriate use of technology resources for learning, communication, and productivity.

NETS Reflection:  The evaluation methods used in this course design were varied, such as through discussion board postings and an online quiz.  However, the group presentation section of this module required the most technological skill from the students.  It also required them to collaborate with their group members through various electronic means.  They were also creating a product together, by way of the Internet.  The multiple evaluations throughout this module would give me a good overall picture as to their progress, not only in the content area but their abilities to use technology for learning, communicating, and productivity.
