Assessment

How do I assess student learning?
I will assess student learning by making sure that my lessons are well developed and presented in a manner that students gain understanding.
On the blog student were assessed on if they understood the impact of their participation and their ability to communicate why or why not they would participate in the March on Washington.

How do I involve students in the assessment process?
I would involve students in this process by role-playing. I would let them be the teacher and decide what grade they would give each other on the blog entries. They would have to explain the rationale for their grade.

How can I use the Internet to support my teaching and student learning?
I can use the Internet to help my student do research and communication.

How can I ensure responsible and appropriate use of the Internet?
I can ensure responsible and appropriate us of the Internet by having hotlinks for the students to go on, very closely monitoring the students on the Internet, going over the acceptable use policy, and handling all violations.

Student samples:
My students will be assigned a situation that is discrimination and they will have to research and see how they would have dealt with it in the early 20th century.
They will have to research which laws changed this situation.
