Write a five to six (5-6) page paper in which you:
Compare and contrast at least two (2) areas of using computer technologies in assessment in the elementary classroom in terms of traditional and alternative assessment.
Propose at least three (3) ways new advances in computer and Web technologies would benefit K-12 assessment, highlighting at least one (1) way that is related to using computer technologies in
assessment in the elementary classroom.
Propose at least three (3) applications of using computer technologies in assessment in the elementary classroom has to K-12 assessment.
Propose at least one (1) practical application to assessment of special populations.
Develop a survey tool with at least 10 items, each item with a Likert scale of 1–5, to obtain feedback from colleagues on the professional development workshop. (Note: A Likert Scale uses 1 as the lowest rating and 5 the highest rating, and uses 3 as neutral or undecided. If included in the survey, names and demographic information about the respondent are not to be considered part of the 10 items.)Please see below an outline of the professional development workshop.
Provide a rationale for the use of the tool, emphasizing the theory on which the tool is based and highlighting at least two (2) benefits, highlighting how the tool will help meet the learning objectives.
Examine at least one (1) limitation of the tool and propose a way to address the limitation.
Provide at least four (4) reliable, relevant, peer-reviewed references published within the last 10 years. (Original text of laws or court judgments may be more than 10 years old.)
