Our discussion on web safety in class tonight was a little daunting. Thinking about all of the things that can go wrong or cause offense can be very overwhelming. However, I really think a dose of common sense can help if we find ourselves in questionable situations as teachers.
If you are wondering if something is ethical, safe, appropriate, etc., then it's a good idea to ask someone. Getting a second opinoin or checking with your district's guidelines is a smart idea.

Assessments
As a new student, it was very helpful and informative to discuss the functions of assessments in class. It was a great introduction to the topic, and I think the information received will help me in all of my classes.
During class, I kept thinking that we, as educators, don't want to set the students up for failure. By developing the assessments before the lesson plans, we can ensure that we're giving the students information they need to succeed.
Everyone has a different learning style and has different strenghts and weaknesses. By varying the types of assessments (formative vs summative)we can give all students a chance to achieve.
