assessment in the contructivist, technology supported learning

The teacher should conduct assessment practice  that will be congruent with the constructivist's thinking,which is a higher level form that will require the display of the basic skills of writing and speaking skills,computing and the more complex skills of applying concepts learned, analyzing, integrating and creating, critiquing and evaluating and the social skills of working with others. Such higher form of assessment will call for altercate form of assessment.

          Authentic assessment is the most appropriate for the constructivist classroom.It measures collective abilities,written and oral expression skills,analytical skills,manipulative skills,integration, creativity, and ability to work collaboratively.With the kind of assessment, students perform real world tasks. It is an assessment of the process or a product.The performance is the reliable measure of skills learned and the product is the proof of the acquisition of skills. In doing authentic assessment, the teacher should make use of of the scoring rubric in order to objectively observe and evaluate student's performance.With scoring rubric, the standards are clearly set at the beginning the teacher and the students. With rubric,the student can assess her or his progress.In this case the much fear foe the test gets dispelled.Assessment is the natural and normal part of the learning process. There are no more secrets on how students will be tested,what kind of question will be asked.The students themselves know how their progress gets assessed.

           Aside from authentic assessment, there is also the need of performance-based assessment or product assessment.It is a direct assessment.With this assessment, the teacher measures the student's computer skills directly in an authentic or real-life setting.

Using the project-based multimedia as a teaching learning strategy

 

 

 

Goals and objectives are always the starting points of planning.When she or he is planning for a multimedia learning project as a teaching strategy, the teacher begin by clarifying his or her objectives and goals. Since this strategy requires much time, teacher should be realistic the amount of time she or he has to spend as seen against time available or run the risk of the failure disappointment afterwards.

           To trim down devoted to a a multimedia project, the teacher must use technology which the students  had already know. He pr she must use time outside pf the class wherever possible.Assign practice as homework.Use special classes like art,or music as extra time. Let students compose text and select and prepare graphics and sound as they plan

           Before the project starts, the teacher should:

• Create project description and milestone.
• Work with real-world connections.
• Prepare resources.
• Prepare software and peripherals such as microphones.
• Organize computer files.
• Prepare the classroom.

Project- based Learning and multimedia: what is it?

          A class that effectively employs project-based multimedia learning is highly animated and active engaged.Together with other students, every student is absorbed i a task in line with the goals and objectives made clear at the start.Time has wings. It flies so fast that students don't feel the passing of time.The teacher monitors the students as they work. With his or her guidance, he or she allows the to make decisions for themselves.He or she has more time to these students in need of greater help and attention.By going around, he or she can sense if students are on the right track and if the goals and expectations set at the start are not set aside but remain to be the governing factor behind every activity.The student's intellectual powers are very challenged as they read, research for basic information and as they analyze and organize this bits of information.

MAXIMIZING THE USE OF THE OVERHEAD PROJECTOR AND THE CHALKBOARD

            Using chalkboard in the classroom is very popular among teachers. It is the most available source specially to those places that has not yet introduced by the technology. It is much easier for a teacher to write in the board once they are explaining. It is also the most common method that the teacher is using. Though today, the most common is the whiteboard instead of the green board or the blackboard. They use marker instead of chalk for practical reasons. In using chalk it can cause cough to srudents or few students are allergic to chalk. It is much better to use chalk.

              Aside from using the chalkboard, overhead projector is also useful. By using this, it can minimize the time the teacher spend in writing in the board.It is easy to  operate.It is used in front of the classroom.Instructor can easily observe student reactions,control its attention and regulate the flow of information in the presentation.It is especially easy for teachers and students to create materials.The projected image behind the instruction can be as large as necessary for all in the students to see.Since the transparency, as it is placed on the projector,is seen by the instructor exactly as students see it.

Teaching With Visual Symbols


       It is used by the teachers for their students inorder to have a better understanding. This is because visual symbols are more understood than words. In  single drawing or illustration, it may express many words. This will help the teacher to have a lively lesson and every lesson, the teaching will be crispy and fresh. Students will be more interactive during your lesson, thus having a life-long learning. Examples of visual symbols are the following:

  a. Drawings- it represents a Real thing. In drawing, your students can express themselves well.

  b.Cartoons- It would be best to, present a cartoon drawing in a class to engage learner in more enjoyable learning. It tells its story metaphorically. It will help to improve learner's ceative thinking for they will interpret what they've seen.
  c. Strip drawings- commonly called comics strip. Learner will find it more entertaining and enjoyable.
   d.Diagrams- Learners will understand better a topic if presents in diagram specially its relationship.
    e. Charts- is a diagrammatic representation of relationships among individuals within an organization.
   f. Graphs-  there are several types of graphs:

                  *Bar graph
                  * Pictorial graph

The power of film, video, and tv in the classroom


       It is very necessary in the classroom to have a lively and interactive atmosphere. It will help the students to have a lifelong learning. It helps us know the happenings all around the globe. Using these technology in the classroom setting will enhance the learnings of the students.
  
      For me its really necessary because aside from it is enjoyable, students will be very interactive. As teachers, we must apply this in our teaching, students will not get bored and they will be very participative. They will always remember it and theyn would feel as if they are a part of the movie.
