Role of Assessment

Inside this PowerPoint, there was one Practice Drill as a formative assessment with immediate feedback.

Also, there was a summative assessment at the end to ensure the students understood concepts discussed.

Affects on Instructional Design

The students enjoy this structure because it gives feedback and they are engaged in the lesson more so than reading a book.

Students also don’t want to lose privileges of working on the computer so it has its advantages in discipline ways.

Integrating Technology You can see from this tutorial that you just

took that technology is referenced and used due to it being totally on the computer from Lesson to Assessment.

Students are engaged in Mavis Beacon Typing afterwards for a more formal interactive tutorial.

Assistance is given via SmartBoard during the lecture.
