Easy Assessment App. Posted on December 18, 2011 by mrrobbo As you will all be aware I have a major interest, some might say obsession with mobile applications.
However one thing that has been lacking is an app that could replace/improve the assessment process that I currently use with my students. In order for an app to be a viable replacement, It would need to not only replicate what is possible using more traditional methods, but it should make the once impossible, possible and it should do it in a simple straight forward manner. Well that was my intention behind the development of the Easy Assessment app, which I am happy to say was released on the iTunes store over the weekend. Not only does it allow for easy development of rubrics for assessment, but it makes use of the camera so that teachers can capture learning and make their subsequent assessments. School fires up iPads to fine-tune phys-ed skills. Ewa Makai started using iPads in all of its phys-ed courses last week as part of a pilot project.
In Gregg Agena’s physical education classroom at Ewa Makai Middle School in Honolulu, students are ready for the day’s lesson on basic tumbling: mats on the floor, tennis shoes off—and iPads up and at the ready. As Agena blows his whistle, half of the students perform “logrolls” and “shoulder rolls.” The other half uses an iPad to film their partner.
Then students switch places. iPads change hands. And Agena’s whistle blows again. Sports shoes technology. The Properties of KEVLAR®.
KEVLAR® is one of the most important manmade organic fibres ever developed. Because of its unique combination of properties it is used today in a wide variety of industrial applications. The fibre possesses a remarkable combination of properties that has led to its use in a variety of commercial products since the 1970's Fibres of KEVLAR® consist of long, interconnecting molecular chains produced from poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide.
