The importance of formative assessment is huge. It guides
the teacher and the learner towards their goals. If carefully monitored, the
teacher and student should know if they are progressing. There are plenty of
ways to use formative assessment. In my classroom I have employed a variety of strategies
shown in this module. I believe that they also fit nicely in online learning.
The assignment I chose addresses the common core standard:
Common Core Standards
SS2CG4 The student will demonstrate knowledge of the state
and national capitol buildings by identifying them from pictures and capitals
of the United States of America (Washington, D.C.) and the state of Georgia
(Atlanta) by locating them on appropriate maps.
I would introduce the lesson by having students review
symbolism and take an online tour of the building. The students will use online
content (which I would probably hyperlink for the students) to explore. As a
formative assessment, I would use Six Hats strategy developed by Kathy Balsam
to assess what students grasped from this initial assessment. After this
initial assessment, I would use the data I collected to adjust my assessment. I
may have to remediate or enrich based on individual results.
