For the Digital Assessment Tool Evaluation assignment, I recreated a more effective digital assessment to use in my math lessons. We use GoMath as our mathematics curriculum, and each lesson includes a Share & Show assessment. It includes two questions based on the work students have done during the lesson; I use these as a way to develop small groups for math stations. I like that they are easy for students to use and allow me to see results instantaneously. However, there is no way for students to show their work, so I cannot properly assess what specifically a student is struggling with. I wanted to expand my knowledge of Nearpod, so I recreated the Share & Show assessment as a Nearpod assessment, which allows students to draw and write their answers on their screen.
I loved using Nearpod for this because it provided the same benefits as the original Share & Show, but also added the benefit of being able to see student work. Using the Nearpod assessment, I could work with students even more effectively and efficiently since I could see exactly what they were struggling with. There were no challenges in creating this assessment since I was already familiar with the basic use of Nearpod. In the future, I would like to continue using Nearpod for the Share & Show assessments. I will need to recreate each lesson’s Share & Show, but it is worth the time to be able to help students more effectively. I could also create my own assessments using Nearpod if I am looking for a digital way to collect data or assess student understanding, not just in math but in any subject or about any topic I could think of.

Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards, and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching 5c. Evaluate and reflect on current research and professional practice on a regular basis to make effective use of existing and emerging digital tools and resources in support of student learning Reference List for Digital Lesson Houghton-Mifflin-Harcourt.
