What people are saying about My eCoach Assessment

Susan Mahony, PT3 Grant Coordinator & Lecturer, Instructional Technologies Dept., San Francisco State University
I teach a technology integration course for pre-credential candidates at SFSU and I used the My eCoach online assessment tool with my students. Not only did they find it easy to use, but loved that the Individual Learning Plan that it generates detailed the areas of training that they need to focus on. As an instructor, it guided the design of my curriculum by allowing me to know very quickly the skills gaps of the group. Lastly, because the Assessment tool is aligned to both ISTE and NCATE technology standards my students were efficiently informed of the technology standards required of them.

Linda L. Evans, Grant Co-Director & Lecturer, Instructional Technologies Dept., SFSU
My ITEC 712 students at SFSU (teacher credential candidates) found the My eCoach online skills assessment easy to use, clear, straighforward and informative. Prior to class, they knew little or nothing about technology requirements for teachers. They expressed appreciation for the individualized learning plans, which gave even the more advanced students appropriate next steps, such as attending computer conferences and initiating schoolwide collaboration in the realm of technology integration. Unlike other commonly used assessment tools in California, the My eCoach system is navigable by beginners with little or no assistance. As an instructor, I use the color-coordinated, grade-level specific "scope and sequence" as a way of explaining technology standards to future teachers and SFSU faculty. Thanks for providing such useful, intelligent tools!

The individual learning plans and the customized reports created from the assessment helped me design a professional development program for my teachers that was successful. They really enjoyed having a their own plan to work from especially since the results were based on their input.
