= Reflection Week 5: How has technology impacted or changed your classroom assessment and evaluation? =

=Technology can create a Bias Free assessment and evaluation environment.=

Description:
After reading one of my colleague’s posts, I began to think of the many times, I would be grading student work and I was surprised what they had produced. What if technology allows teachers to take out the presumptions of the student’s ability and evaluate the work for what it is, their work.

Impact
With all bias removed students are evaluated on what they produced at that point in time. It will change how students view each other because all preconceived identities are removed. Similar to when students leave for college, they leave behind their high school identity and can create someone else new. It would provide quality measurable data and produce a greater reflection of their true effort and knowledge. How different would the grades be? There response to one and other?

Intent
My implementation will be to have students create Code Names on their Drop box Accounts and their student blogs. It will keep my and their peers feedback bias free.
