Evalua&ng Technology Tools for Primary Math Assistance Robbie Lucas Teachers College, WGU Learning Technology – D294 Chris Levy, Instructor January 19, 2024
2 Evalua&ng Technology Tools for Primary Math Assistance Learning Goal: Students will be able to increase math scores overall in the primary grade levels, grades 2-4 are the target range. Students will demonstrate understanding by earning higher math scores overall on future assessments at the district and state level. Learning Tool #1: Moby Max “MobyMax is a standards-aligned K–8 learning plaQorm for math, literacy, science, and social studies equipped with adapSve tests, test-prep lessons, interacSve whiteboard acSviSes, and moSvaSonal tools. MobyMax also features specific state test-prep acSviSes.” ( MobyMax review for teachers ) A: Moby Max is an online tool where students are monitored for skill growth and learning velocity. It is useful for test prep and provides whiteboard acSviSes as well as moSvaSonal tools for several subjects. B: Because of the placement test and individualized monitors, Moby Max insSlls deeper learning in its users as well. Students are quizzed based on their past knowledge making a deeper learning possible. A]er an iniSal adapSve test, the tool will assign a sequence of lessons to fill in any gaps in a learner’s knowledge. C: The online assessments in Moby Max are all read aloud which can be helpful for some learners making this tool accommodaSve to many types of learners and styles. There is a zoom feature as well and the ability to go at one’s own speed is all helpful in making this tool usable to many different learning styles.
3 D: Moby Max can be embedded into an LMS and can be used with a single sign-on system (SSO). This is not full LMS integraSon, but it can be embedded into the use of an LMS plaQorm of any kind (MobyMax review for teachers). Learning Tool #2: Dreambox Learning “DreamBox Learning Math is an adapSve and self-paced math program that provides interacSve pracSce acSviSes. It’s available for both web-based and iPad plaQorms, and student progress is tracked across both. It creates a personalized pathway for students based on their demonstrated level of readiness and adapts this pathway as students learn.” ( Dreambox Learning Math Review for Teachers) A: Dream Box allows students to go through at their own pace and has voice-guided walk-throughs for any missed quesSons. This scaffolding helps students achieve higher learning because each quesSon is explained correctly. This is an adapSve and self-paced plaQorm that contains self-paced pracSce acSviSes. Lessons look like games and acSviSes that make learning fun. This will help keep students’ adenSon and hopefully make them want to stay longer learning on this app. B: The scaffolding and voice training review gives this app or web-based tool a level of deeper learning. Students sSll input their answers to the quesSon a]er a mistake is made through the online review guide. Even through the review of a missed quesSon, the learner is pufng the correct answer in its place. This conSnues the learning deeply.
