NCTE Position Statement on Machine Scoring - 0 views

ncte writing computer scoring grading machine automated

shared by Steve Ransom on 21 Apr 13 - No Cached
  • Conclusions that computers can score as well as humans are the result of humans being trained to score like the computers (for example, being told not to make judgments on the accuracy of information). 
  • Computer scoring systems can be "gamed" because they are poor at working with human language, further weakening the validity of their assessments and separating students not on the basis of writing ability but on whether they know and can use machine-tricking strategies.

  • "It really is a rehearsal for the kids, for later on, because social networking is a reality," one educator mused. "It's better for them to be inappropriate in this environment, where the teacher can facilitate redirection, than out in the world where they can get in big trouble."

Spelling literacy research instruction pedagogy

shared by Steve Ransom on 01 Dec 13 - No Cached
  • The people who don’t benefit from spelling tests are those who are poor at spelling. They struggled with spelling before the test, and they still struggle after the test. Testing is not teaching.
  • Are all children learning to love words from their very first years at school?
  • Are they being fascinated by stories about where words come from and what those stories tell us about the spelling of those words?
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • re they being excited by breaking the code, figuring how words are making their meanings and thrilled to find that what they’ve learned about one word helps them solve another word?

    Yes, you can use photos of students successfully in online spaces without showing faces. There are a few nice sample teacher permission slips here to take a look at. Taking photos is so easy today. Even studens can take them for blog posts. Cropping off or blurring faces if necessary is also easily done.
