Assessment and Evaluation

 

This is a class that emphasizes “hands-on” learning techniques.  You will be actively involved in developing and creating a number of different technological projects.  Your active involvement in designing these projects will enable you to better understand how as a teacher you will integrate technology into the learning processes of students. (80%)

 

Besides the projects you will create each week, you will also be providing personal notations and analysis connected to the project work that will demonstrate an educational vision on how you are going to incorporate these technological concepts into the classroom setting. (20%)

 

Successful completion of the designated tasks each week will result in a grade of A (this will be a 95 on the grading scale).  Points will be lost each week for items not completed or not done correctly by the specified guidelines. Projects that exemplify outstanding or extended, exceptional work can result in an evaluated grade ranging from 96-100.  The guidelines below will be considered for outstanding or extended, exceptional work:

 

The project work and related assignments developed each week are well-organized and complete; go above and beyond basic guidelines of each assignment; are effectively and clearly presented; demonstrate clear understandings of the given tasks; applies what has been learned to the author’s own classroom situation or subject area; clearly shows connections to the learning process.

 

The analysis of technology integration done each week demonstrates critical thought; is unique; goes above and beyond basic requirements; shows substantial application to one’s own future teaching area or professional position; demonstrates both breadth and depth of knowledge of technology integration into the classroom setting; is professional in presentation; and demonstrates considerable effort.  

 

The grade that is awarded (from 96 to 100) with outstanding or extended, exceptional work will be determined by the completed assignments and at the discretion of the course instructor. 

 

Note:  No extra credit points or assignments (above the outstanding or extended, exceptional work points awarded) will be given in this class.

 

Late Assignments

 

Because you are given an extensive amount of time each week to complete the designated items, late assignments ARE NOT accepted in the class.  Also, the assignments each week are done and submitted electronically, so you have the ability to work on the items at anytime during the day/night.  Assignments are posted on Sundays each week, and they need to be completed by Friday at 4:00 p.m. each week. Assignments submitted after the Friday 4:00 p.m. deadline each week will not be evaluated, and you will receive a grade of zero on each of those assignments.  

 

There are circumstances beyond the control of the individual student/teacher where assignments may be submitted later than the designated time each week.  Those circumstances will be dealt with on an individual basis.
