Assessment

Yours (metateachnition)

• was the assignment fair to digital novices?
• was the assignment necessary for digital natives?
• How much of the mark should be on tech and how much on content?
• Will this happen in your classroom?
• Some had to re-do parts of their assignments - is this an unfair advantage or good teaching?
• was the rubric fair/useful? 
• What about someone who had no images?
• What about video or podcasts?

Students

• Assessing the hard stuff = problem solving, creativity, initiative, cooperation, etc
• We all know this is important, but it's not really important on teh report. THink back to the first class and what paretns want from schools (and from S/P/T interviews)
• How open should assignments be?
• The rubric process

Know when to throw out the rubric (thanks Crystal)

If it doesn't start there, it is clip #5 from February 3rd and it starts at 5:30 (approx.).





Finish and watch your movies and de-brief them. What should we do and what should we avoid when we go into video assignments.
