    The document discusses the shift from traditional teacher-centered classrooms to modern student-centered learning environments that utilize various technologies. It argues that student-centered learning allows students to learn at an individualized pace and gives them more control over their education. Formative assessments in student-centered learning allow students to evaluate their own understanding and help teachers make adjustments to better support students. While summative assessments can help teachers prepare for future classes, the document asserts that formative assessments provide more immediate, valuable feedback for improving student and teacher performance.

    Technology to Support Assessment of the Comprehensive Classroom


    Technology Plan

    Todays classroom is a whole lot different from classrooms of the


    70s, 80s, or even the 90s Nowadays classrooms are filled with
    technology and smart toys and gadgets. Students in todays classrooms
    are learning not only history, but also they are learning about futuristic
    things as well. Back in the day we would have never even thought that
    the world would be as it is now. The closest we came to this futuristic
    world was the cartoon called The Jetsons. We still havent gotten to
    that stage as yet, but how far are we really from there?
    Technology is apart of just about everything we do these days,
    whether we are in school or just hanging out or spending time at home.
    We are busy on smart phones, tablets, computers, video games and or
    watching smart TVs. We are apart of a generation that is technology
    consumed. Even the elderly has joined in on the tech generation; they
    want to be with the in crowd too.
    The days of teachers standing in front of the classroom and writing
    on a chalkboard and drilling information into students brains in longer

    the case anymore. We are now in the era of student centered learning.
    This is a type of learning that really speaks to the individual child rather
    than trying fit every child into one style of learning and it not necessarily
    working out. Student centered learning allows the student to be more
    hands on with their work and learn at a pace, which they can
    understand, the lesson. Student Centered Learning shifts the weight of
    instruction from the teacher to the student. This method of learning is
    more helpful and useful to the student for long-term because it teaches a
    student independence, and responsibility. Learning how to research
    information it also promotes practicing proper study habits. When a
    student can learn to focus on the task at hand and not be distracted they
    learn discipline and the importance of learning and processing the
    content of the subject. This is definitely a great preparation tool for
    college. In this learning environment students have more control over
    what they learn and how they learn it, rather than traditional classes in
    which the teacher has all the control and many students struggle to
    understand. Students can also assess themselves better in this setting,
    because they know what they have learned and understand and what
    they need more concentration in.
    Teachers basic way of assessing students is normally by giving
    them a test or quiz, to see how much of the material was understood,

    however some students dont take test well, even when they know
    material and this becomes an irrelevant measure for those types of
    learners.
    I like the idea of student centered learning, I believe it gives
    students a better way of learning and it is a more individualized
    curriculum rather than a one size fits all curriculum. This type of learning
    style allows the students to assess themselves on a formative level; the
    students participate in evaluating themselves. I also believe this type of
    learning could cut down on the amount of students that are otherwise
    labeled or put in Special Ed classes due to assessments that arent as
    exact as they may believe them to be.
    The assessments of the students learning I believe is very valuable,
    however I feel that formative assessments are more beneficial to the
    students and the teachers, because it gives more information in a smaller
    time which allows for adjustment and correction on the students and the
    teachers part. I find that they summative assessment is more valuable to
    the teachers and it helps to prepare them for future classes rather than
    current classes.
