I think having this inventory can and will prove to be a very useful resource for myself in the future as a teacher as well as in the present as a student. Although my CURR314 class has only just begun, I can see a connection between this inventory and the basis of assessment of learning, which is the title and goal of CURR314. Our first reading for the class discussed the necessity for a balance of assessment in the classroom. To put it simply, a successful learning process needs both formative and summative assessment. Many of the technologies I researched can in some way be used for either a formative or summative assessment. This inventory will encourage me to think more creatively when thinking critically about how to assess my students.
In READ411, I will soon be presenting a lesson for my class with my fellow future art educator Kayla Blodgett. Being that the focus of READ411 is to understand and know how to improve the skills of dependent readers, our group project needs to in some way address dependent reading in the art classroom. After completing this inventory, I feel much more apt to do so. I think that utilizing some of the technologies listed in our inventory in our lesson will really allow me and Kayla to understand the unique challenges art educators meet when addressing dependent reading in the classroom.
