EdTech Tip
Online Assessment Guidelines:
As we approach the midterm season, about 25% of our teachers have expressed an interest in completing their midterms in Schoology. I would like to provide you with a few guidelines to consider for preparation and test day.
Teacher Spotlight
Heather Bell
Mrs. Heather Bell has dove headfirst into Schoology implementation within the last two weeks; and she isn't wasting any time with her latest professional growth project being executing an online assessment with her Spanish midterms. This week's Teacher Spotlight highlights how Mrs. Bell is using Schoology Assessments to accommodate for the personalized needs of all her students.
Mrs. Bell records the passage
Mrs. Bell uses the audio recording feature embedded in Schoology to record a passage on her midterm for her students who receive reading services.
Two Midterms are Created
Two midterms are created (with ease in Schoology) but the one with accommodations/modifications is only assigned to the students needing those services; which allows Mrs. Bell to ensure everyone gets what they need to be successful!
Easy Student Access
The students can then access the audio directly inside the assessment and below the written text. They can also rewind, fast-forward and review the audio as needed.
In the future, Mrs. Bell plans to recruit the expertise of our native speaking mentors to record these passages.
