It is important to use multiple forms of assessment because students take to different things. I know I am a horrible test taker because I psych myself out before hand. I second guess myself and change my answers and usually don't do well on them. I prefer getting assessed through an essay or a project. That is just the way I am; but there are other students who thrive for tests and go horribly on projects. We are all different, we learn differently, so we should have options to get assessed differently. I have seen so many different types of presentations from all sorts of technology resources. I hope that I can incorporate all of these tools into my classroom because they all have something fascinating to offer. Writing in a science or math course does not surprise me. I have written essays for both classes and they proved to be useful. I had to research a topic and then write my opinion on it. By writing on the topic, allowed me to research deeper and give me a better understanding of it. Blogging about the earthworms is easy to incorporate into the classroom. For my blog about earthworms I put pictures, videos, and experiments I found online. I then reflected on what I learned about earthworms. I found this activity very insightful and useful!
