Performance 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. I am wondering what your past couple of years have added to this?I have some summary notes from this discussion…See More

Time for a New "After the Warming"

I just came back from a 5 day teacher workshop at Hawaii Prep Academy in Waimea on the Big Island. The Summit was Titled “Hoku a ‘aina”  (Stars and Land) and the theme was sustainability. Lots to share, as the workshop was excellent - really excellent! Hosted at the one of a kind LEED Platinum eLab at HPA (http://www.hpa.edu/academics/energy-lab) and organized by one of the smartest people I know, Dr Bill Wiecking (a…

Community of Practice, protocols and building online capacity

So here it is, Saturday, March 12, 2011.  We just spent the last hour online using Elluminate  web conferencing software to host a collegial conversation (also known as a tuning protocol) with Jen Peterson, Humanities Teacher, High Tech High International on her  questions/dilemma:

 How can I best structure a project that is open-ended enough to leave room for creativity and individual choice while still setting myself up for successfully managing it?

Mark, it hasn't even been the summer and I already miss the camaraderie of the SOTF group.  I hope everything is going well and I hope to remain a part of the discussion through the Ning.  I can't tell you how invaluable it's all been.  Thank you so much for everything!

Thank you for the info.  Look forward to connecting at BLC. 

I spent a few hours reviewing the sessions that are being offered.  There's a short video introducing the scheduling process that's easy to follow.  Go to http://blcconference.com first, then http://blc2011.sched.org as instructed.  A description of the classes and the participants who are interested will appear when you click on any session.

Do you know which schools were represented at ISTE 2011?  Which SOTF members will be at BLC?  Missed seeing others in Philadelphia but it would be great to meet in Boston.

Aloha Mark,

Sorry I'm so lame at replying back. You guys did an outstanding job as the "Transformers!" Wish I could have filmed your tumbling act. Ha.

Anyway, looks like I'm here til May at least. That's good. I'm still truck-in along with KCCL. We're making progress too.

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.
