Week 7 Evaluation and Assesment

Online Assessment - Students in my school are provided personal Google accounts. Utilizing the students' school provided Google accounts the assessment is on of a Youtube video using Google forms. Easy to track I can identify misunderstandings and address them independently, or publicly in the classroom for a range of students.




Rubric - I chose to use iRubric. It is a great tool I have used in the past. I can simply upload one of my existing rubrics and edit simply. It allows me to emebed the rubric on a page, print or create a pdf to email. I have created them for websites I have created and have emailed rubrics to homeschool teachers as well.



Poll or Survey - I once again chose to use Google Forms. Too often teachers get emersed in so much technology that we forget to keep it simple for our students. Though I have used other platforms, even Kahoot, using Google Forms not only for the ease of student access through our school but also the professional appearance of the user makes it the appropriate choice for what I am trying to accomplish. With this survey, I am investigating how, where, and why we should be presenting artwork in our school. Currently, we are using wall murals and ceiling tiles to display artwork that is public.





Application


When creating a lesson based on the 7 elements of art I would want to include the online assessments based on videos and presentations in class over time. The principle that aligns with the online assessment is linked to the Redundancy Principle, by allowing for graphics and narration to take place. I also was thinking long term when creating the lesson. Teaching all the elements of art in a single day can be accomplished, however many students need it broken down. By segmenting each of the seven elements I would be breaking the lessons into learner based modules. Furthermore, utilizing Pre-training, students working ahead would be able to gather information before a lesson and identifying key concepts. The lessons would be utilized in my Intro to Visual Arts classrooms. Teaching the fundamentals, but breaking them down into segments would assist students' learning.

Reflection

Being an Art teacher I utilize rubrics throughout the year. The video and online assessments, however, are a new feature I would like to begin incorporating more. In the past, I have used them on occasion, but I feel with students taking my classes over (by choice), I need to begin manipulating assessment and projects. I do individualize assignments for students, and personalize curriculum, but these tasks can become overwhelming at times. By adjusting lessons, projects or assessments through a digital platform students could be less complacent, and strive to achieve more from their teachings.
