Formative and summative assessments are used to check for student   understanding, skill development, and mastery of material. Being able   to identify the characteristics and purpose of each kind of assessment   assists in the ability to choose the proper assessment type at the   most appropriate time.

Create a 12-15 slide digital presentation on assessments for a   presentation to your colleagues. The presentation should include:

• Description of the purpose and characteristics of each     assessment type.
• Two examples of each assessment type.
• One advantage and one disadvantage for using technology with     each type of assessment.
• How teachers align     assessments to objectives.
• How data gathered from these     assessments would be utilized in the lesson planning process.
• Using your Topic 2 assignment, describe one formative and one     summative assessment that aligns to the assignment’s standard     and learning objective.
• A title slide, reference slide, and     presenter’s notes.

The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant   to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Support your presentation with 2-3 scholarly resources.
