Nowadays people have the option drive, fly, or take a train to anywhere they desire to travel, but had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act in 1862, we wouldn’t have to option to travel by train. This act affected today's railroads greatly for had it not been for the Pacific Rail Way Act, we wouldn’t have the transcontinental railroad and we wouldn’t be able to travel by train today.

Hey! This week in Instructional Technology we looked at some formative assessments. My group did an app called Plickers. So what is Plickers? Well, Plickers is an assessment that allows the teacher to create a class and questions. Once the class and questions are done, the teacher will print out the Plickers Cards. Your students will rotate the card to indicate their response. The teacher then takes their smart phone or iPad and takes a photo of the cards using the app. Then the teacher will get a response based off the students answers.

This study set out to prove that when using technology for note-taking and assessing information in conjunction with each other there will be an increase in student performance. The data aligns with the initial hypothesis of the study and is backed by past studies findings, like Mogey’s study in 2007 and Russell and Haney’s study in 1997. The information in the article strongly aligns with the purpose of the article and does not give any superfluous information. The researchers also note threats to internal validity and the steps they took to remedy them, like using “two experimenters…as redundant quiz graders, each separately grading every participant’s quiz” (52) and having all handwritten notes converted to typed text to combat the bias that is common in grading. They also attempt to provide alternative explanations for “the results of studies demonstrating positive (e.g., Goldberg et al., 2003) or negative (e.g., MacCann et al., 2002) effects” (55), like the possibility that the location of the student had an effect on performance instead

Phones are easy to use and very accessible by both students and teachers. “Smartphones allow us to take down notes any time, any place.” “smartphones allows you to access resources and material quickly before an exam.” “not only can we make videos, but we can also edit them, add text, filters, effects and more.” This is true because smartphones really do work in a way that is helpful to students and teachers. This evidence is supporting it by just stating that there are many cool and useful ways to use them.

We want to thank you for invigorating the minds of our future. Through hard work and dedication, you’re preparing tomorrow’s best thinkers for jobs that don’t yet exist using technologies that have yet to be created. With your download, you’re adding brand new sets of skills to your student’s toolbelts. It’s a tough job preparing learners for the fogginess of the future, and we can’t imagine anyone better suited for this line of work!

Another important benefit of implementing technology in the classroom is it can help teachers create personalize instruction and make it easier to provide accommodations. It can be very difficult and time consuming to differentiate instruction for a classroom of students. The use of technology can make this a much more workable task. By using technology, the teacher can differentiate instruction with just a few swipes per student. It also gives the teacher more options to work with depending on student need. For example, if a student has trouble writing, they can use an iPad with voice adaptive software to answer questions or complete assignments. This eliminates the stress they may feel being forced to write during an assignment or test situation.
