While I am very excited to be wrapping up all of my activities and being done with this class, I am going to miss the opportunity to explore new technologies and get great feedback from my classmates. The discussions we have been having, as a class, have really given me a renewed focus and forced me to look more critically as I am creating activities and/or looking for resources to share with my students.
This week's discussions have really caused me to reevaluate the way I am using assessments, currently, and the way I will use them in my future online course. I need some time to digest and reformulate my grading system, but some of the suggestions like William's idea of allowing students to retake quizzes and exams have really intrigued me. I am going to do some soul searching and figure out different strategies that will help the kids LEARN, I do not want "tests" to be a punishment.
Overall, the discussion on promoting student success have given me much to ponder. I am looking forward to the coming weeks of researching and developing assessments that increase my students' success!
