Every teacher loves anything that will make their jobs easier! I found a Web 2.0 tool called Exam Builder. It does exactly what the name says...builds exams! You can use the exams you have on your browser and publish it. It is very user friendly. You can have your students take it online and the site provides information on the exam like how your students did as a whole. You can import your students into the program and group them however you would like. There are four group categories: classes, department, region, and vendor. This is a Web 2.0 tool that can help keep you organized and is an effective way of recording and keeping track of how your students are doing and how well they did on any exam.
I feel that the less paper that you use the easier and more efficient you can be as a teacher. This tool helps you focus on what your students need more work on. It shows you what questions most got wrong so you know that this is something you may need to re-teach and focus on. Instead of focusing on what is not necessary, you can save time and zero in on what the students need help with. Since I am a math teacher, this is important because every concept in math builds on the previous. If students need help with a concept it is important to go back and re-teach.
This is a great find. I have used Google forms in the past but it does not track how well your students are doing. It isn't specific to education as this one is. I am going to pass it along to the intermediate teachers in my school, as they are always looking to assess in the most efficient way possible. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this great tool. Definitely, this is a great tool to make my job easier. I love the categories and it is easier for students to take the test online too. One concept that attracted me the most is that I can get organized. That is a big plus. I will definitely share with others.
