From the assessment tools, I created a test with Proprofs. The test is formative, for practicing to pick the right Japanese alphabets for the words. We have done similar kind of activity with pictures and flash cards in the class, but the tool allows students to have the same kind of activity with a different media. The matrix gives the caution that overuse of the test will bore students and I can imagine that. So I will use the activity just once in a while for a change from a classical way of the activity. Using the web test also gives students an exposure for computerized test taking. There is increase use of computer-based test even in elementary level and students as well as teachers need to become familiar with the technology.

I think the tool helps us to meet the standards as following:

In-TASK

Disposition 8r—The teacher is committed to exploring how to use of new and emerging technologies that can support and promote student learning.

OETS

Technology Operations and Concepts

Students utilize technology concepts and tools to learn.  Students:

1. Select, use, and troubleshoot tools efficiently.
