Assessments

Reading Assessment Ap
Reading Remedy: Assess rhyming, bending, sight words, fluency, word attack skills and makes teaching recommendations.


Easy Assessments: Input your classes, create rubrics, assess your students and run a report. Amazing app. It even lets you input notes on the student as well as video them with their assessment. You can also email the assessment to someone if you want.

Confer-The most informative assessment occurs when teachers have an opportunity to conference individually with a student. These are the precious moments when a teacher can listen attentively to a child explain how to do a math problem, engage in discussions with her about her writing, or hear her predictions about a book's outcome. Classroom teachers are constantly asking students to articulate what they are learning. The Confer app is useful for teacher documentation of these conversations. The mobility of this technology makes it easy to jot down quick, yet informative notes about an individual or small group of students. For example, teachers are able to list student learning strengths, enter a reading level, keep track of conference dates, and plan for the next teaching point. It is possible to export or import records through email and sort files by conference dates, groups, or tags. With a gmail account, data can upload as a spreadsheet. The juggling of a teacher's busy day just got a little bit easier.
