Lesson
7: Evaluation of Technology Learning
This
lesson discusses about the evaluative tools that are essential for the
teaching- learning process. Involvement of digital instructional materials and
digital learners into digital world are also part of this lesson. This gave an
emphasis about the effective assessment for the learners. The content is about
the evaluative tools for 21st century. It focuses on how future educators
developed the effective and efficient way of teaching using appropriate and
updated evaluation tools. The teachers must adopt a new mindset of instructing
and evaluating the learners. The lesson also reviews the six basic digital skills
that are connected to the achievement of the highly competent way of
evaluating. Aside from discussing the evaluation process for the 21st century,
this lesson also defines the mass amateurization. Mass amateurization is the
change of evaluation approach, from the amateur creator of outputs to
professional creator of outcomes and products. It gives an impression to the
teachers and learners that high technologies are very essential in the learning
and evaluating process.
As
to the experience, in Educational Technology 1 our instructor incorporated
different activities and strategies in assessing and evaluating us. In terms of
how far we learn and what are the things that need to be improved are the goals
of our instructor in doing this. We engaged ourselves in rubrics making, comics
making, movie making, poster making, picture editing, submitting online
projects and assignments, weird invention making, divergent arrow making, etc.
that will assess and evaluate us. Through these, our instructor have used variety
of evaluation tools and not just relied on a pencil and paper based type of
evaluating a learner’s performance instead used new ways and found it as very effective
especially in engaging to the digital learners.
As
to the reflection, the standard student evaluation of learning must change.
This is justified by the fact that not only the new generation changed into
digital learners, but the traditional world has metamorphosed into a digital
world. Teachers must adopt a new mindset both for instruction and evaluation.
Evaluation must be geared to assessment of essential knowledge and skills so
that learners can function effectively, productively and creatively in a new
world. The 21st century evolves from being nothing to something. It is truly
amazing that today we are developing the effective and efficient way of
evaluating through the use of evaluative tools.
As
an application, we future educators should put in our mind that as time goes
by, everything will change and we have to adapt ourselves from these changes
because this could help us to develop and achieve a new mindset of instructing
and evaluating. We should be flexible,
analytical and creative in our own way of teaching. In our modern world of
teaching, digital technologies is very important tool especially in educational
technology subject. We use technology not only for fun but also for academic
purposes. Nowadays, many efficient teachers use the modern technologies in
computing grades, power point presentation with the help of educational media.
The learning from verbal-textual text to digital world is become complex in the
old generation compare to the new generation who equip in the use of modern
technology. Above them all, the most important thing in evaluation of
technology learning is the proper way of usage of educational media and to
learn to use and evaluate the outcomes.
