Digital Tools to AssessUSING TECHNOLOGY FOR STUDENT ASSESSMENT AND DATA COLLECTION

PRESENTER: JESSICA HUTCHESON

Who Am I?

I teach fifth grade at Factory Shoals Elementary.

I’m finishing my master’s in Instructional Technology at GSU in December.

I like to incorporate technology to save time, keep kids engaged, and make my job easier.

Struggles with Paper/Pencil Assessments

The students aren’t interested.

It’s more grading for you.

Someone has to keep up with the grades.

We have to collect data for instruction.. Look at EVERY question.

WE have to input the data/item analysis.
