I learned many things from the Powerpoint that we were given to look through. Right in the beginning, it says that Social Studies has a greater instructional variety than any other subject, which I've never learned before. I think that's interesting, but I feel like you can also do many different methods during science as well because it's easy to incorporate readings, experiments/projects, and all sorts of fun activities. I found the pyramid that shows how much information students retain from various learning methods to be extremely interesting and displayed very well. I think the sample of the lesson helps to really demonstrate Bloom's taxonomy. I also like the slide that explains the different things that can be assessed to show us that it's not always for academic purposes; you can even use assessments to figure out what students are interested in.
The way the three different forms of assessment are described in the powerpoint helped me comprehend what each one is even more. I like how Pre-assessment is described as "Finding Out", Formative Assessment is "Keeping Track & Checking-Up", and Summative Assessment is "Making Sure". It puts them each into simple, memorable phrases that will help me distinguish the different types. The powerpoint as a whole was very informative; I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge from it.
