I did not know about the resources that allow the instructor to give verbal feedback and send back to students. I think this will help with the distance education and communication
IT is essential to choose the right kind of tool and to know all its features to make instructor can use good use of it and students can easily access and perform their task in simple way and provide their feek back in a timely manner also reporting must be easy and automated.
It's important to listen to students about what they felt worked.
I learned how important is to know and understand how an evaluation technique works before assigning an assessment to our students and to gather feedback about it.
Picking the correct assessment tool for the assignment
Best tools for desired outcomes. Familiarize with and become fluent with technology
I learned that we need to research, ask questions, and evaluate if the school made the right choice on the software they want us to use.
Technology assessment toolare an effective way of getting students envolved with the course. It also helps instructor make changes to the course.
I have learned that it takes time to find a program that works for you and what you are trying to accomplish. You have to really put time into finding programs that offer real life experience, such as hands on exerience that students need.
The most difficult thing that I have found is that I am a person who likes to work in hand with students. It is hard for me to do that online. See, when a student used to have trouble with a program or web page or something similar, I could walk over, point to a line or two and say that the error is there or in that general area. Now, I can't. Especially if I use Canvas to communicate. So with my tools, I have to have them post a screenshot or share their screen for me to do this. It can be difficult for some especiallt those on tablets and not laptops that can easily have multiple screens open at once. I think in this environment that the tablet should be discontinued.
There are many different assessment tools. The instructor needs to do some research to find one that works for them. Also, it is important to get feedback from the students.
In determining the assessment tools, look at the objectives. Instant feedback is also very important.
In this current environment a variety of assesment tools will be needed to guage lerning.
The instructor should assess the effectiveness of each technology assessment tool.
This is an effective technology methods to be successfull in a course and to get the most effective feedbacks using technology tools.

Online assessments must be varied in order to evaluate different learning styles. One type of assessment may not work for the entire group. By varying tests we can ensure that learning has occurred.
I learned about alternative forms of technology assessment tools including WebQuests. I plan to research this method as an alternative for some course content.
to assess the best tools for my students I need to investigate not only each tool as a classroom tool but also how students may use it in a virtual setting
Online tools can help students learn, but the instructor needs to understand the online assessment tools in order for them to be successful. Feedback is needed to alter the content to make the learning experience better for the next time. Some students will do better with online quizzes, other will be more successful in virtual labs. Having a variety of assignments will help multiple kinds of students.
The usefulness of tracking changes to assignments to assess student progress.
