Reading Reflection 6

Technology tools can encourage students to be reflective and evaluate their own strengths. Such as:

• Blogs offer students space where they can reflect over time about what they are learning.

You can identify interests, strengths, and weaknesses, and use this information as you guide leaning. Create your own survey in ProfilePRO or adapt a template to meet your needs. You can also have students reassess their profile over time and cop are how their "badge" changes as they acquire new skills and understanding.
• Tools such as SurveyMonkey and Zoomerang allow you to set up online surveys. You can use the results to track trends and help students see how their self-assessment compares to the larger group.
