How can technology be used most effectively to support and assess student learning?
Prior to determining what type of technology I want students to use (and for the student sample), I had to identify my students’ needs and the expectations I set in place. It is important that I find a technology tool that will enable students to enhance their learning, productivity, and creativity in the most beneficial way. After I have figured out what tool I want the students to use, I need to make sure it is the best support for learning and skill development. To effectively support and assess student learning, the approach must be pleasing and interesting to the students. Each project should further knowledge on the topic, allow them to work on new skills, and create new skills in the process. As I created my student sample, I tried to think long and hard about a different way to present the information. In my past experiences in history courses, projects were turned in by a research paper or PowerPoint. It was important for me to find a new vehicle to drive students to be motivated. I believe that a newsletter is an excellent way for students to take pride in a topic knowing that it would be available to other peers.
