Week 7 Assignment EDL 642: Evaluation and Assessment

Use in the Classroom

The items created for this weeks lesson are an extension of the previous lesson from last week. Each of the items were developed to assist the potential adult education student make relevant and important decisions about their future educational goals, base these educational on sound information, and learn to learn financial literacy to manage their student debt.

The video assessment "Financial Literacy for College Students" was specifically developed as a tool to encourage educational choices and financial decisions. This assessment can be used to discuss the use of financial aid (loans, grants, and scholarships) to pay for college. The video assessment can also be used as a tool to spark discussions about budgeting, credit reports, savings, FICA scores etc. to assist students in current and future financial health.

Financial Literacy discussion can reveal a multitude of information about a future college students family values and attitudes about money. These discussions can also lead to college planning.

Application:

I would introduce the video as a springboard for encouraging potential adult college students to think about what what type of career, college (type, debt etc.) and how they are planning to manage their home and college finances.

Objective:

Students will watch/complete the Financial Literacy for college Students Assessment. Students will create a monthly budget.

The class would then participate in a discussion of Financial Literacy, Educational Goals, and how these entities complement each other.

Reflection:

Working with potential adult educational students is an interesting challenging! In my opinion, these lessons are great tools to utilize when you have a captive audience. I believe that the lessons that I have created can be very effective and useful. Each lesson is a building block to ensure success for the potential student.

The technology choices this week were much more user friendly and easy to manipulate. Embedding the items this week was also less of a challenge. What I have observed is that each week that I have been developing my skills with each lesson. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect!
