Classroom technology and assessment

 Part 1- Design a Technology Checklist Design a classroom checklist to evaluate the classroom technology-related routines and software. The checklist should include: Norms Expectations Routines Organizational structures Multiple literacy use Interactive software used to communicate within the classroom, expand research/communication in a global context, and correlate technology and routines to support reading and writing instruction on the evaluation. Using your checklist, evaluate the technology-related routines and software for literacy in the same two classrooms previously in Topic 2. Part 2-Student Interview using Checklist Once you have completed the evaluations, interview one student from each class regarding the classroom technology and the influence the technology has on reading and writing. Using the checklist and observation notes to facilitate a discussion, address the following areas: Does the student like or dislike the technology? Explain. How does the student interact with the technology? Is it easy/difficult to use? Is it used at all? Are any identified difficulties that the student has a result of the technology itself or the student’s training on the technology? You will use the notes from your student interviews for Part 3 of this assignment. You will be submitting your checklist with your reflection assignment. Document the hours and locations that you spend in the field on your Clinical Field Experience Verification Form. Submit the Clinical Field Experience Verification Form with the last assignment by the assignment due date. Directions for submitting can be found on the College of Education site in the Student Success Center Part 3-Classroom and Student Review Once you complete the evaluations and interviews from your field experience, write a 750-1000-word reflection in which you describe your experience during the classroom evaluation and the student interview. Include 3-5 sources that support the decisions you made regarding the development of your checklist and how literacy in the classroom is impacted. Your reflection of the checklist development and classroom observation should articulate the following: Effectiveness of the walkthrough What would you change? The correlation between technology and routines to support reading and writing instruction on the evaluation. Observed effects (if any) of multiple literacies on reading and writing instruction for students. Utilizing your discussion questions, and responses, the appraisal of the student interview should examine the following: Did your observations coincide with what the student told you? Can an observation/walkthrough provide you with an accurate assessment of a classroom environment and technology use? Did you observe any routines that support reading and writing instruction? You will be submitting your classroom checklist and the notes from your student interviews with this assignment. Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required. On the student interview do your best with what students might say.
