Data Literacy

Data literacy for teachers using technology means that teachers can routinely, effectively, and with integrity access, use, interpret, and communicate student achievement data obtained from multiple sources to enable teachers themselves to be more responsive and proactive in targeting skill development and differentiating instruction (DQC-Teacher, 2014).


Assessment Tools 
Google Forms - Google Forms is a quick and easy way to compile, disaggregate, and share data. After creating a form (which can be a test, survey, or other form type) and collecting data, teachers can use the charts or graphs Google Forms creates or upload the data to an Excel spreadsheet for further manipulation of the data. Additionally, the data on Google Forms can be shared easily through email.

TurnItIn.com - TurnItIn.com collects data primarily for student work authenticity verification, as it was initially developed as a plagiarism checker. Additionally, though, it can be used to collect data on student grammar proficiencies. This data is in a raw form and so would require transfer to something like an Excel spreadsheet, but is useful in helping teachers glean student understanding of avoiding plagiarism and grammar usage. Another feature of data collection is in terms of providing writing feedback, which teachers or students can provide through the peer feedback workshopping features.

ForAllRubrics - Teachers can use ForAllRubrics to create rubrics for scoring student writing and projects. Using this website, teachers can collect data on student proficiency in the criteria specified in the rubric, thus allowing teachers to differentiate any required skill reteaching.
