Alberta schools use the Critical Thinking Consortium's tools for guiding inquiry. I looked into the one about investigating pictures.

A small group of teachers and teacher educators recently started working together to figure out great lessons that take advantage of primary sources, in particular those from Gilder Leherman and the Library of Congress. We will be tagging all our stuff LOC. If you want to see or add to the materials we've found useful to share with one another, just use the tag. We are organizing our work in a wiki that you can also find tagged LOC. Here's to learning adventures. Lurk or join, we're happy to blow this open.

PBLnet is a long-standing pbl discussion board on yahoo groups founded in 2001. Do you use it? I find the archive very useful and go there to see what Diane McGrath, Bob Perleman and others are paying attention to. I just posted about the Diigo PBL group there-- hope for cross-pollination!

Reinventing the Big Test: The Challenge of Authentic Assessment | Edutopia - 0 views

shared by jkrauss on 05 May 08 - Cached

Equally worrisome is that today's assessments emphasize narrow skill sets such as geometry and grammar, and omit huge chunks of what educators and business leaders say is essential for modern students to learn: creative thinking, problem solving, cooperative teamwork, technological literacy, and self-direction. Yet because NCLB has made accountability tests the tail that wags the dog of the whole education system -- threatening remediation and state takeover for schools that fall short -- what's not tested often isn't taught.

many experts tout the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) exam for its challenging, open-ended questions on practical topics, such as climate change or the pros and cons of graffiti. Even more advanced models, some using computer simulations, will become available in a few years -- and none too soon.

static problem, for instance, would ask test takers to say from memory how to save a certain endangered bird species. A dynamic assessment (in a real example from Bransford's lab) asks students to use available resources to learn what it would take to prevent the white-eyed vireo from becoming endangered. This is a novel question that demands students independently dig for information and know enough to ask the right questions to reach a solution.

The British government has created a computer-literacy test that challenges teens to solve realistic problems (how to control crowds at a soccer match, for instance) using online resources. The more sophisticated these tools become, and the more adeptly test makers use them, the better assessment will be.
