I found the tools discussed in “Assessing Meaningful
Learning” helpful, especially the provided rubric gallery. I was able to easily navigate to a sample
rubric, and the format was pretty intuitive.
I can see myself returning to the rubric gallery in the future as a
teacher. The “Clickers” section left me
wishing I could have seen it in action with maybe a demonstration podcast—something
to help visualize its use would have benefited me. The idea sounds good though and I don’t doubt
its potential applications. The “Inspiration”
software looks especially useful for teachers who rely more on visual aid and
are looking to create new lesson plans.
I consider myself a very visual learner, so I can see myself benefiting
from it in the future. Since I am
planning to teach primarily adults, I imagine Inspiration would be more helpful
to me than Kidspiration, but both look really helpful.
