Chapter 9 was less about ways for children to use the Internet in the classroom and more about ways for teachers to assess the children. One way children are typically assessed is by having a face-to-face conversation with the teacher. With the use of the Internet, children can receive feedback in other ways such as audio recordings, virtual sticky notes, and blog comments. Backchanneling is a wonderful way for students to post questions and comments they have for the teacher in real time. I love this idea because it give the teacher the opportunity to be online in the evening if time permits to help students in real time rather than answering when its too late. Rubrics are an excellent way to show students what they are expected to do. They also help teachers assess the children by seeing if they fulfilled the criteria. Checklists are another wonderful way to assess children. Checklists show if a child is excelling in a particular area or if they need a little more help. Surveys help teachers learn things about the children such as if they like reading, and what they like to read, or how they feel about the Internet. One of the best ways to assess children is by keeping portfolios. Portfolios are typically folders or notebooks that contain children’s work along with teacher’s notes.  This has been the way of containing children’s information for many years. The major problem with this has been that it is difficult for other professional and parents to see their child’s work. Many parents even complain that their children throw their work in the trash before they get to see it. With Evernote teachers can put up any of the children’s work as well as notes, audio recordings, pictures, and anything else they want. This way parents, teachers, and anyone else relevant to the child may see this information every day rather than only once or twice a year.
