**Welcome to Ms. Hurley's Space**

 * PBS Course on Assessment and Evaluation:** Below are were my expectations for my PBS Course. You can view my [|final reflection paper here].

 **What are your expectations for this course?**  □ I would like to more clearly clarify the difference between assessment and evaluation. I also want to see how it all fits into instruction. **What knowledge and skills do you hope to learn?**  □ I would like to learn how I can better support my teachers to assess and evaluate their students.  □ I hope to learn how to incorporate technology into assessment and evaluation.  □ I hope to gain the skills to write better more creative rubrics. **How will this professional development experience shape your future instruction?**  □ As the instructional technology coordinator, I am always looking for way to assist my teacher. This course will help me, help them. I’ll use what I learned to assist me when I write grants. A strong evaluation/assessment component is always important when writing grants. I will also use my new knowledge to evaluate y schools technology program.
 * Expectations**

 **What are your prior experiences with the using assessment and evaluation, including any specific techniques you used?**  □ I’ve actually conducted many technology evaluations in my current position and in a previous one. I’ve attached two tools/processes that I have used in the past. I’ve also been a grant reviewer and that has been extremely helpful experience.  □ My main challenge continues to be how I assess and evaluate how technology is being use in my school. How do I assess what the needs are or what’s working? <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> □ I feel I have had great success with writing grants. I have received several grants and I feel that is due to them having a strong evaluation plan attached. <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif">**What questions do you have about this topic?** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> □ What other types of assessment tools are available? <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif"> □ How do I make assessment and evaluation “sexy”?
