Struggling to show clear learning outcomes during accreditation reviews?
Discover how combining formative and summative assessment creates a strong evidence trail for school success.
Formative assessments guide learning in real time, while summative assessments measure mastery at the end—together, they create a balanced, data-driven approach to curriculum management.
In this module, my group came up with the meaning CTS and how it help with all of our class.
I reflected back when I was doing Craft workshop, teacher assigned us to create a typographic composition on week 4, however it must be legitable and it could be creative that a person could understand the words.
1st try:
My idea is that I overlapped the words and tried to make it readable yet distinctive like a new font design
However,during that week when teacher reviewed my work, she claimed that this design is very unsafictionary because the letters are not properly aligned or symmetrised well and she cant read the words very well too.
At first,I was a little disappointed because I have spent a lot of time trying to correct the designs but it was rejected.
But what I learnt from this and to CTS is that all of us failed, but the one that willing to not let failure take over us emerged as the most successful one.
2nd try:
Eventually, the work is passable to the teacher but improvement is always welcome.
What I wish I did more of or better, is I wish to visualised more typographic concepts of this.
I wish to experimented more fonts , lettering , grids, hierarchy .etc and software knowledge in the future so I can better equiped my future skills in my careers.
What my favourite activity from this is I get to think broadly about the class I took, learn and applied to my design knowledge.
This make it easier because my knowledge isnt limited around CTS when critical thinking can play a part from other module.
And each tails, we draw give us a logical flow from one subject to another, we have a reflective time ruminating what we learn from physical to digital graphic design.
Before we will discuss about Assessment of Learning, first and foremost, I will share to you what is an assessment.
According to The Glossary of Education Reform (2015), assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure, and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of students. Hence, assessment is a tool to determine learners performance, skills, and ability.
Assessment of Learning occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements on student achievement against goals and standards (summative assessment). The following are also the definition and keywords of Assessment of Learning.
Checks what has been learned to date. When teachers and giving lessons to learners and provide quizzes to them and finds out about the learners scores then that's the only thing teachers will do.
Focuses only on grades. Teachers only focuses on students score or grades without realizing what strategies will do to make students performance be better.
Design to those not directly involve. Assisting of teachers and students are not being involve.
Presented in a formal report. Assisting students and asking about their result performances are not being discussed.
Compares the students learning.
Does not need to involve the student. This is student focuses or teacher-centered of learning.
Assessment of learning is limited only. There teachers are the one who is teaching students without engagement of students to participate in any lessons or participations.
Example of Assessment of Learning is summative assessment.
Also some examples of Assessment of Learning are Test exams, Summative test, Periodic test, etc.
Come and hear from a varied and highly experienced group of educators who bring you their experience in sharing their tips and strategies for effective assessment in your classroom.
Summative assessments are the bane of my existence, I often come out of them crying, fatigued and shaky because I don't do well with tests and deadlines, although one sort of funny thing that comes of it is I end up afraid of the Outlook notification noise because it probably means my marks have come in. Basically this image.
The origin of literacy traces back to five millennia ago when Mesopotamians needed to name individuals involved in transactions, as well as in keeping count of the exchanged livestock and goods. Represented by their shape, some impressions were too complex to just press on clay tablets that they had to be drawn directly using a cut reed (Clayton). Oral tradition, being the main method of communication within civilizations for centuries, is crucial in laying the foundation for modern reading and writing. Literacy is the sole reason for seeking an education today as it has changed the frontier of society in terms of communication in every field imaginable. Simply put, society would not be as technologically and intellectually advanced as it is today without this advancement.
2. black-and-white movies to colorized films
Louis Le Prince, a French inventor, directed the first motion-picture movie called Roundhay Garden in 1888 (Gourley, 2019). Many films have been released since, but in black-and-white because then, color was laborious and costly for many filmmakers. Early experiments with color by American company Paramount Pictures in 1917 led to today’s innovation in the film and movie industry (2018). By the 1950s, colorization of movies were mastered which led to its demand and popularity. These movies, no matter the color—or lack thereof—were successful in conveying their intended message and undoubtedly implying time. Currently, some directors still opt to produce black and white films for artistic purposes, but generally our current colorized movies are best able to indicate mood and temperature, as well as incite emotion from the audience watching.
3. telegraph to telephone
One of the first instruments in sending and receiving messages long distance is the telegraph invented by George Louis Lesage in 1774, which had a different wire for every letter of the alphabet. However, it wasn’t popularized until 1830 when Samuel Morse developed the Morse Code, allowing only one wire to interpret messages (Swafford, 2015). In 1876, less than 50 years later, Alexander Graham Bell created the telephone which significantly lessens exchange time between individuals which then becomes one of the most groundbreaking inventions in communication. While modern day telephones are no longer the most commonly used, the calling feature in current cellular and smartphones are derived from this device and has changed long distance communication in society.
4. radio to television
Mostly associated with broadcasts, advertisements, and music, radios allow communication with the use of radio waves. Invented by Italian Guglielmo Marconi in 1894, he was able to popularize wireless technology initially used by naval ships. With later developments, message broadcasting, commercials, programs, news, and dramas were featured but it wasn’t until the 1930 during the time of the Great Depression that it was most used because it was free of cost. However, by the early 1950s televisions became accessible to many and radio’s dominant Golden Age came to an end. Currently, radios and televisions are still widely used by individuals from all walks of life, but besides the use of auditory senses many enjoy the added visuals provided by the television medium for entertainment and in gaining information.
5. personal computers to laptop
Computers have been around since the 1800s by Charles Babbage, but were incredibly massive with a very basic language in its program. It wasn’t until the development of fourth generation computers in 1971 that the first bulky personal computers emerged with a single microprocessor circuit chip containing millions of transistors (Zimmermann, 2017). The laptop, a smaller version of this, was invented ten years later by Adam Osborne which eventually led to the development of the Internet in the 90s. The convenience and multifunctional use of these personal computers are very much benefited by the modern day individual, especially during online work and study.
II. Predict what communication and media would be like 50 years from now based on past and current trends in communication.
I believe that we are currently living in the future, as technology is at its most advanced with experts already using artificial intelligence (AI) and algorithms to track each individual’s digital use. These, along with facial, voice, and fingerprint recognition, social and digital media will be tailored to the user as much as it can. The level of communication with one another will also be limitless, which is already starting with the emergence of different video conferencing platforms and holograms.
However, a Netflix documentary I recently watched called The Social Dilemma showed that this analytic method is detrimental to our personal privacy as it will be nearly impossible in the future. With social media becoming ad factories now, we’re gradually being shaped to be products of mega corporations. Too much personalization can also lead to biased information presented in our timelines and can warp our attitudes toward social issues and cause further divide. Ultimately, digital media will continue to be what we make of it, as long as we, the users, are aware and responsible of what we read, click, share, and send.
