I learned about even more types of formative and summative assessments. I also learned more about the importance of diagnostic assessments, as a way to gauge the prior knowledge of students. This was a strategy that I could've used more often in my teaching, as my 6th grade students did not have much background knowledge about technology issues, when we were learning about digital citizenship topics. I would definitely implement that much more in future lessons for digital citizenship. Maybe I'd do more Kahoot quizzes for fun and to assess their background knowledge of the topic. Also, I learned about some software programs that I didn't know about (e.g. Lockdown Browser) that I plan to do some research on. We used a different one at our school, and it was hard to use, and the students knew how to get around it. I gave lots of online quizzes, so it is important to be able to lockdown the students to that screen, so they can't cheat by looking up the answers elsewhere.
