    The video explains the importance in performance based assessment. Performance bases assessment is the most appropriate for the multimedia workshop on clickers. Participants in the workshop need to demonstrate that they know how to effectively use the clicker sin the classroom. The video reinforces the need to make students demonstrate their understanding of the content by actually "doing". The instructor must communicate with the participants the expectations of the assessment and the grading procedure. Performance based assessment also lets the participant see if the mastered using clickers. Essential material takes advantage of pre-teaching the content and helping each individual is at least on the basic level. The video explains the importance of authentic assessment in the classroom. Teachers may not be familiar with authentic assessment; therefore, they cannot successfully create an authentic assessment for a workshop or a classroom. The video meets essential learning because the viewer becomes efficient on understanding authentic assessment. The video serves as a pre-teaching and tutorial devise.

    RubiStar is a website that I have been using as a classroom teacher for year to create well designed and well worded rubrics. It is a simple free website that allows you to choose from a long list of pre-created categories. Final products can be downloaded and further enhance in a word processing program. The rubric created will be an example of essential learning because through the rubric the leaner will have better understanding of what is required of their digital story.

The library of existing rubrics is lengthy and best searched by topic and date.

I prefer this site over others as it is easy to use and provides the option for a printed hard copy to be used during the project.

    Rubistar is a well-known rubric creation site. The site is at the generative level, as users are required to create their own categories and criteria for assessing products.

The site is useful because it is fairly intuitive to learn and because it leverages the shared products of its members.

Glogster: make a poster online. It's free! - 7 views

  •  
    Glogster EDU www.glogster.com The first authentic assessment activity website that I chose is called Glogster EDU. Glogster EDU is a website like no other resource I have ever seen. Glogster EDU is a creative, dynamic and innovative digital outlet for online creations that keeps learners in engaged in course content, and makes teaching and learning more fun (Glogster EDU, 2009). Glogster EDU is a vibrant, multi-sensory learning experience which integrates learner's knowledge and skills into traditionally text-oriented subjects and motivates learner's desire to explore topics in which they may previously have been less interested (Glogster EDU, 2009). The reason I chose Glogster EDU as one of my authentic assessment activities is because I have used it in my classroom and it works great. Glogster EDU is a powerful resource to use with students of the middle and high school levels because its possibilities are controlled by the students knowledge and creativity. Educators can set up assessments easily and quickly using the resources provided by the site host. Glogster EDU can be used for any type of assessment where students need to illustrate their understanding of course content. Glogster EDU also provides its own video site called Schooltube where students can research, watch, and add video to their personal glog adding the much needed audiovisual aspect to projects that normally would have been text based. I also really like the fact that Glogster EDU is a private site monitored by teachers; it gives me a sense of assurance that my students won't be accessing information that could get them or me in trouble.

    This website has a gallery of multimedia posters that have been published and created based on various content area. Items include a focus on literature, mathematics, science, biographies and more.

    Glogster allows the user to create a multimedia poster. The user can incorporate video, text, and images. Of course the use of Glogster as an assessment tool is based solely on how the assessment is designed. If the user creates an assessment that is authentic and incorporates Glogster, then the use of Glogster will be an authentic assessment.

    Use glogster to create digital posters with audio, video, graphics and text.

    Glogster allows users to create digital posters that incorporate video, text, pictures, and sound.
  •  
    Glogster (www.glogster.com) allows teachers and students to create interactive projects. Teachers can design interactive glogs for their students to complete or assign the students to create their own glog for a class project. Either way this allows for the teacher to really control the learning. Mayer (2009) would consider Glogster knowledge construction because students will have to view the videos, read the articles, and examine the pictures that the teacher embeds in their glog to form an opinion or to create their own glog. When a student creates their own glog no two will be exactly the same.
