Formative and Summative Assessment

Formative assessment: is a range of formal and informal assessment procedures, it typically involves qualitative feedback that focuses on the details of content and performance. Summative Assessment:refers to the assessment of the learning and summarizes the development of learners. It is the procedure to assess or grade one's level of learning in certain period of time. For example a test may be given to assess how much a student has learned from the lessons given.
I can use these assessments in my classroom to discuss with students about their work , as well as see what they have learned over the period of their assignments. Grades can be given on their knowledge of the art vocabulary and formative assessment can be used when discussing their work, and how they have used or can improve their knowledge of Art with in their artwork. I believe that technology can be used to support assessment by allowing for teachers to set up quizzes online for students about art topics or artists that they have discussed in class and assess what students have learned. it is also a great way for educators to see where they need to improve their teaching as well, by seeing where students are struggling, and how the teacher can help those students gain that information.
