=Technology - Assisted Assessment Inquiry: Part 2=

====Assessment tools are essential for instructors to gather important information from the students. Students took a pre-test on Internet safety online. I gathered the information on the pre-test and noticed that there understanding of Internet safety was not to standard. Below is an image of the grade book and you can see the grades of the pretest. We continue with the lesson and the students had to read and research about Internet safety. The lesson objective was to know that communication on the Internet could be an educational and enjoyable form of socialization. However, just like in the non-virtual world, exchanging information in online conversations like chat and email can be potentially dangerous. The students learned about five topics on Internet safety, which are “Staying Safe Online”, “Loss of Privacy”, “Cyber Bullying”, “File Sharing”, and “Websites”. I could tell that by using technology the students were focus and researching every topic of the lesson. The students view some videos that other students created about Internet safety. I created a wiki where students were to access the lesson and read about the topics on Internet safety. Students did not have any problems in navigating the wiki. My main goal was for students to be aware that once they put something online they can’t get it back. On the third day of the lesson, I gave the students an online post-test. The test items are based on the content and skills that the students learned during the class. I was amazed when I got the results of the students. Everyone got a hundred on the online test. I can truly say that using technology is an effective way to assess student understanding in the lesson. Using technology assessment might take a bit longer to create a test but the advantages are great. Students would have automatic feedback, which helps motive them to take the test and teachers would have the assessment graded by the program.====
