Week 3 - Assignment 2

The 4th Grade sample ELA lessons proved how you can implement Common core standards using technology and keeping students engaged. I really like the idea to record your groups discussion and play it back to make sure the group discussed valid points and they can evaluate their responses. This is a great way to get students excited about their learning and participation within small group discussion.Teachers can assess students using running records, Informal assessment and rubrics. While the students are working together the teacher can informally assess each individual students participation and group interaction. The teacher could watch the class and jot down different points she notices about her students. Informal assessment can show a lot about a student and is very important. When students are given a rubric to work with they are clear about what exactly they need to do. Teachers can follow the rubric and easily assess the students accordingly.
