Assessment in constructivist , technology-supported learning


          Authentic assessment is the most appropriate for the constructivist classroom.It measures collective abilities,written and oral expression skills,analytical skills,manipulative skills,integration, creativity, and ability to work collaboratively.With the kind of assessment, students perform real world tasks. It is an assessment of the process or a product.The performance is the reliable measure of skills learned and the product is the proof of the acquisition of skills. In doing authentic assessment, the teacher should make use of of the scoring rubric in order to objectively observe and evaluate student's performance.With scoring rubric, the standards are clearly set at the beginning the teacher and the students. With rubric,the student can assess her or his progress.In this case the much fear foe the test gets dispelled.Assessment is the natural and normal part of the learning process. There are no more secrets on how students will be tested,what kind of question will be asked.The students themselves know how their progress gets assessed.

USING THE PROJECT- BASED LEARNING MULTIMEDIA AS A TEACHING LEARNING STRATEGY
This project based multimedia has many steps to be used.We used this strategy to enable the student to remember  and understand better content as they perform real world tasks.As a future teacher i would  choose to use the  best strategy that fits on my lesson so that we will end up the class where learning of my students are present.

The disadvantage is that don't lose track of your lesson objectives because the technology aspect has gotten the lime light.

TEACHING WITH VISUAL AIDS
I understand that in teaching the teacher should use visual symbols like drawings, cartoons, strip drawings, diagrams, charts, graphs and maps.In drawing it is good that our drawing is correctly represents the real thing.In cartoons it tells the story metaphorically.Strip drawings these are commonly called  comics or comic strip.In using strips make use of of the strips that are educational and entertaining.Diagrams shows arrangement and relations.Charts is a diagrammatic representation of relationships  among individuals with an organization.Graphs is also related to diagram.Maps is a representation of  the surface  of the earth or some part of it.In my over all understanding in choosing what visual symbols to use  in every lesson be sure that it is representable and knowlegeable.

THE POWER OF FILMS, VIDEO, AND TV IN THE CLASSROOM
We are now in a new generation that inventions of new technology were developed.Tv is one of the example of technology.It is very useful to us because through watching television we are aware of the happenings in our environment.Some said that these technology were disadvantageous to us,that it makes us lazy but there wrong.Using films, Video, and Tv in the classroom is a big help to the teachers because through using these the students will be motivated, they will attentively watch the video instead of talking.And as a future teacher i will use these technology.
