    I have been thinking about this idea for a while and I am glad to see that Nancy has a great model to follow here.

Portfolios (Authentic Assessment Toolbox) - 3 views

  • Portfolio: A collection of a student's work specifically
    selected to tell a particular story about the student
    • Patrick Higgins
       
      This is what I am really leaning towards: students telling the story of their work. Can we accomplish that?
  • A portfolio is not the pile of student work that accumulates over
    a semester or year. Rather, a portfolio contains a purposefully selected
    subset of student work. "Purposefully" selecting student work
    means deciding what type of story you want the portfolio to tell.
  • 1. Growth Portfolios

      Which one do you think fits our purposes? Or should we leave that up to the students?

    I haven't watched this whole thing yet, but his TED talk from 2008 was amazing. If you are into food, but don't fully understand the mechanisms behind food production, this is worth it.

NSFW: After Fort Hood, another example of how 'citizen journalists' can't handle the truth - 2 views

    This author brings up the question that I've wrestled with before: just because we can, does it mean that we should? Or should our abilities always go to make us more human?

    This is such a scary topic but something that needs to be thought about. This has happened in our own town, instead of helping, people are video taping someone being beat up. I wonder though how this happens? Does it happen because it can or we have the technology to allow it or has the moral compass of our nation changed so that we don't see anything wrong with it? Crazy article.

    Did you watch the "This American Life' cartoon? That is exactly what you are describing, where even the premise of creating news shows altered how kids behaved in the face of a situation that called for social action. It raises the question for me of "should the kids know more how to operate the high tech camera, or when to step out from behind it and act?"
  • Danielle Kopp
     
    Yeah I watched the cartoon and saved it in hopes that I can show it to my students one day and have that discussion. I think they NEED to know how to step out and act - being a good person and citizen should always be number one and if they do that then they will use their technology for the best things! I love these diigo posts - thanks!
