Application of a Handheld Device on Formative Evaluation --- An Example of Geometric Teaching for Senior High School (II)

[[abstract]]Handheld devices are the most potential tools for incorporating technologies into instruction. Meanwhile, classroom real-time formative assessment is one of the best tasks to exploit the power of handheld devices. In order to fulfill the potential of handheld devices in formative assessment, teachers need software for conducting assessment activities and tools for the compensatory teaching after assessment. Based on the above facts, we set our objects of this project as: 1. implementing the real-time formative assessment system for teachers’flexible assessment activities according to their own needs. 2. Designing and implementing the simulation system for senior high school students; learning of 2-D and 3-D geometrical concepts. 3. Investigating the methods for integrating handheld devices, formative assessment software, and simulation system to implement adaptive compensatory teaching for geometry.
