ASSIGNMENT 8

(1) Record Keeping: Teachers have a professional responsibility to monitor, record and communicate student progress. Many schools and districts have adopted networked grading systems, and some publish grades on secure websites.

Use a your school's gradebook program to develop a report for a real or hypothetical class of ten or more students who are assessed on five or more assignments. Submit a printout of your gradebook and the detailed report card (progress report) for an individual student. If you do not have access to such a program, you may use Gradekeeper or download a sample shareware "gradebook" program.

(2) Assessment: Teachers must regularly assess student progress. Many textbook publishers make test construction easier by providing test generators, software which allows the teacher to quickly compose tests and keys from question databases. Test generators allow the teacher to input questions, and often provide databases of questions the teacher can select from. *TPE-tip A well-structured exam may be used as an artifact for TPE3, Interpretation and Use of Assessments.

Use a test generator to construct an exam composed of questions you have selected from existing question banks.

Software such as Examview allows teachers to develop tests and post them on the Internet. Take this short physics quiz generated with the Examview, or this geology quiz made with Quizmaker. Include a screen capture of your score (actual score is inconsequential) and discuss the benefits and problems associated with online testing.

With online testing, students can take the test when they are more fully prepared, and they are taking it in their own home at a convenient time rather than in a crowded classroom. If allowed during the test, resources are readily available. Problems associated with online testing are technical problems with the computer and/or software, but in such cases the exam can usually be reset so they can take it over. Online tests usually have to be open book tests, so that the student may use all available resources. Another disadvantage is that the instructor has to depend on the student being on the honor system. Someone else could take the test for the student without the instructor knowing, so online testing should be supplemented with classroom testing.

(3) Communication: Students benefit when teachers clearly state their expectations in written form. When these expectations are available on the Internet, all students and parents can benefit, particularly students who have been absent. A variety of commercial resources exist with which teachers can post calendars, homework assignments, and other important documents.

Put your class assignments on the web at Yourhomework , SchoolNotes or similar service. Include a screen capture of your published assignment schedule.

(4) Presentations: Presentation software provides teachers the opportunity to display text and graphics in a slide show fashion. PowerPoint and Keynote are two of the most popular presentation tools. Teachers and professors make extensive use of presentations, but many are concerned about the potentially negative effects such presentations can have on instruction. *TPE-tip A well developed educational presentation can serve as an artifact for TPE 4, Making Content Accessible, or TPE 10, Instructional Time, if used with presenter tools.

After reading the articles on the educational use and abuse of presentation software, summarize how presentations should be constructed and delivered to maximize learning and minimize abuse.

Presentations prepared using software such as Power Point should make use of the many creative options that are provided, such as graphic animations, movies, audio recordings, links to other files or websites, navigational buttons, and various creative page transitions. They should be logically structured, instructionally sound, and easy to use. Avoid putting too much detail. Rather, supplement the presentation with handouts providing additional detail and encourage students to annotate them with their own notes. Also encourage them to preview the file prior to the presentation, just as they would read their textbook before coming to class.

Locate and download one or more PowerPoint presentations relevant to your teaching needs. Include the URL of the location from which you obtained them and summarize the PowerPoint and where in your curriculum you will use it.
