The document discusses the use of the ALEKS math tutorial software in a 7th and 8th grade classroom. It is used with 16 students, primarily boys, who struggle with math. The software assesses students, provides individualized tutorials, and reassesses to chart growth in math concepts. Initial averages were below 10% mastery, but have increased to over 34% for 7th graders and nearly 40% for 8th graders since using the software. The teacher has seen academic and confidence improvements in students.
The fourth and fifth grades are a big-time to introduce kids to the magic of books. Not that more modern kids do not read; many children catch reading from as early as age 4.

Tired of Excel? Allow Always Prepped to automagically make student performance reports meaningful with a single upload. Our graphs and charts will help you track students and sites over time. Find trends in your class easily.
Always Prepped allows you to easily integrate all of your education applications so that you can monitor the school or classroom. All using our safe, strong, open API.
Feedback to students on their work and attainment is at the centre of successful learning in higher education. However many top rated universities find it hard to match high levels of student satisfaction with teaching and learning in general with levels of satisfaction in assessment and feedback. There are many factors which impact the quality of the feedback, and at UEA we are keen that the opportunities to enrich through digitisation are not constrained to the replication of previously paper based practices. For this reason we have initiated a project to harness all of Blackboardäó»s interactive tools to raise the quality of feedback. The overall aim of the project is to embed assessment and feedback in teaching and learning, so that feedback becomes a dialogic process and not a product in itself. This presentation is a report on our progress so far and looks at a range of interventions and their results, as we scale up to campus wide integration of Blackboard assessment and feedback tools. The evidence of impact comes from the academic community and students. We welcome interaction from fellow delegates during the presentation, as we discuss how Blackboard supports us to move forward with feedback.

Authoring system of drill & practice elearning modules for hearing impaired s...ijcsit
Hearing Impaired (HI) persons need to keep on practicing and repeating their lessons as well as their exercises. Teaching methodology of HI students differ than normal students. HI students need to be involved in practicing more and more using their modes of visual communication like sign language to cover their audio disability. Teaching methodology of HI students recommends demonstration and repeating with slow presentations of instructional material. A teacher displays his lesson directly face to
face without visual noise. More reinforcement and encouragement to HI students , fun & enjoyment should
be strongly included in the e-lessons as well as continuous interaction between teacher and HI students. As
per previous factors the decision of researchers is to develop Drill & Practice (D&P) e-learning modules(eLMs) for selected topics like Mathematics. D&P eLMs of Mathematics for HI persons would be the case study of this research including Developing & Evaluating.
The authors selected D&P eLMs Because eLMs match the requirements and mechanism of teaching methodology for HI students.
The mechanism of developing eLMs is represented by Developing an Authoring System which allows teachers of HI persons to generate any eLM of any selected topic for HI students. Also they can generate multiple eLMs in the project.
The evaluating producer & tools for the experimental eLMs were view points of Experts through openQuestionnaire to list their evaluating comments. Besides view points of experts. There are experiments which were held in real environment of HI students to test the eLMs of D&P of Mathematics to get valuable feedback from them.
