I love using Performance Matters and SchoolNet. These platforms allow students to see questions in the form they would be for their state test . It provides the students with feedback as soon as they are done testing. The other teachers and I also use this to compare data to see what standards need to be retaught as a whole class and small group. I like to use Quizziz for assessments, mainly informal. Quizziz allows the students to see questions that they would see on their unit test. The students get instant feedback without waiting for me to grade it. They can practice these questions and retry on the ones they got wrong. A lot of students use this as a way to student for the content they have not mastered yet. I like using SchoolNet and Podcast for my assessments. SchoolNet allows my students to see questions that they would see on the state test. Students can get familiar with the testing vocabulary and learn testing strategies as well. I use Podcast for performance tasks. This is more of a creative way for students to tell me what they have learned. All sources discuss how these technology help students with testing and provide them immediate feedback.

EDUC 630 technology one assignment at a time 4. How does technology in the classroom help you better serve your students? Students are able to see what their assignments are and have access to them at all times as long as it is unlocked. Even absent students can get their assignments completed on time. Most of the assignments are self-grading so once they are done, they can get immediate feedback without having to wait on me to grade the assignment. Also, I am able to pull aside students that may need more help or do small groups in my class. My students complete all of their assignments online for my class. It is easy for me to do small groups while they are working on their assignments. I can also provide them with feedback quickly. Technology helps me to be able to do small groups within my class. I can also give the students different assignments based on their ability level. Because most assignments are self- grading, my students get feedback pretty quickly. All sources mentioned how technology allowed them time to work with struggling students while others were busy working on their assignments.
