Mark Hines posted a discussionPerformance Assessments?
Greetings allMany of us deal day to day with how to measure learning in the more open ended, project based activities we are doing. How are you dealing with this new kind of assessing? To jump start your thinking, back in 2011 Marc Chun from the CWRA gave a presentation on performance assessments to our Community of learners meeting. Jeremiah Demster gave us his summary notes.

HTH Conversations
Great conversation today. The question was "how might we incorporate writing as a tool to ensure student motivation and publication in a long term project?".
The 4th grade students are doing a project called What Floats Your Boat? Eventually they will build a boat that can hold a 4th grader. Great project and I received so many ideas and bits of inspiration.
It was the largest online protocol, I think 26 people. There were attendees from Australia, India,…

Kamehameha Conference
I am finally getting around to writing about the Kamehameha Conference over the summer. The classes I enjoyed immensely were the i-book classes. It has inspired me to start a project using this technology in my 8th grade English Class. I'm looking forward to collaborating with our computer teacher Mr. Horiuchi on this project. I'll keep you posted on the process.

Some Resources from BLC11
One of our study groups went to Alan November's BLC11 July 2011. The keynotes and breakouts were all universally excellent, but two of my (Mark Hines) favorites were Eric Mazur's keynote on Peer Learning and Rob Evans' Keynote on understanding the challenge of change in schools. Both have recently been posted for public viewing and are embedded below. I highly encourage you to watch and enjoy!

Grant Possibility - Next Generation Learning Challenge
Here is an interesting grant possibility to design a module for middle school students to improve their ability to successfully learn core content standards. Information about the script is here: http://nextgenlearning.org/
they do give two examples of the kind of projects they are looking for:
A modularized online course of study that may be composed and sequenced with a variety of other materials and deployed in a variety of learning environments. Note: there is not an expectation that an entire year-long course of study be completed.
An online, collaborative environment in which students are asked to practice and show mastery of literacy Common Core Standards within the context of solving biology problems.
