You can create interactive textbooks (1) for children to read, ask them to explain their thinking through screencasting (2) or help them access informational text using QR codes (3).

How Assessment Can Lead to Deeper Learning | Edutopia - 0 views

  • The assessment process itself helps students develop critical thinking and analysis skills.
  • "Deeper learning is when a student learns something beyond the content, when they are able to apply their experiences, or knowledge gained in other classes, to what they are doing. It means internalizing information."
  • "Being put in a position to articulate a concept to an audience takes greater comprehension than just learning the idea for yourself. By talking about the project, I deepened my own knowledge of the math we were learning."
  •  
    Having students assess their own work may seem terrible at first, but if done properly they may begin to develop important critical thinking skills. This could be a great way to develop certain intuitions that students may have.
