Learning and Assessment
Assessment for learning is a helpful way to think about formative assessments. Formative assessments are used to help both the teacher and the students use data to help them understand how the learning is progressing towards the learning goals. Providing feedback to students helps them understand how they are doing on their learning path.

Personal Reflection
This course was a challenge for me because of my young students. It was tricky to create formative assessments using digital tools. My students don't understand how to use the tools, how to type words, or read words well enough to make the formative assessments valuable to me. I do want to keep trying and figure out how to use the digital tools better so I can make accommodations for my students who can't read or write.
My favorite was the weather arguments. We had been studying about weather the previous month by tracking our weather and learning the specifics of all kinds of weather. The students then created a Google drawing of their favorite weather and had to tell the class why their choice was the best. It was fun to watch them draw and present their ideas before the class.
