Assessment

Technology Matching each Assessment Type

Introduction

Assessment is very important as it plays a definite role in helping teacher assess their students and their way of teaching. It is also a way of gathering data. It measures whether the outcome are met or not. It can help in improving the quality of teaching. Consequently, teachers must think carefully before choosing an assessment type or assessment technological tool in order to reach a certain result. In addition, more than one tool can be used to reach optimum results, and one technological tool can be used in different assessment types. For best results and in order to really improve the quality of teaching and learning, variety and multiple kinds of assessment should be used to collect data. Here are some tools that I currently use.

Assessment	Technology – Description (What?)	Technology – Rationale (Why? How?)
Diagnostic	Surveys /Google Forms (MCQ)	Measures the students needs. The Survey will include the students' needs and requirements. It will tell a lot about their supposed level so I can tailor the course according to their needs. It shows the students background knowledge, they measure what the students know prior to instruction so they are a helpful tool in creating or adding up material to the course designed. The google forms which include a Multiple Choice Test will show their level of proficiency and so I will know what I have to recap and I what I need to explain from scratch.
Formative	Google Forms/ Quiz Moz (Multiple Choice Quiz) / Nicenet (Electronic Portfolio)	Google forms if given as exercise then feedback is given students will learn their weakness, and the teacher would revise/ recap the material most students did not grasp to the full. The same ideas apply to quizmoz. As for the Nicenet, it is very good at giving feedback to the students and making them try to work on their weakness and enhancing their abilities. Both are done during instruction to put hands at weakness, help students and recap.
Summative	Google Forms/ Quiz Moz (Multiple Choice Quiz) / Nicenet (Electronic Portfolio)	As for the google forms or Quizmoz multiple choice quizzes they will give me a thorough idea about the level of the students and what they have attained at the end of the month (the score is put in the final grade) or the end of the year. As for the nicenet electronic portfolio, the portfolio they will give me an idea about their final level of the students in writing and how they developed throughout the year.
Norm-referenced	Google Forms/Online TOFEL Tests	Both can be compare the students results to the institute, national and international standards and see how things are going.
Criterion-referenced	Google Forms (Used to test TOFEL /Online TOFEL Test), Nicenet (Electronic Portfolio following the rubric)	They are very good at assessing the students level according to the criteria  TOFEL level, and there is a reference  the students' level can be judged.
Interim/benchmarked	Google forms/  Quiz Moz	The google form can be used for detecting what the students learned through three or four weeks like wise tests created on Quiz Moz. The interim or benchmark is very good at testing whether the students
