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 a. to show growth or change over time b. to help develop process skills such as self-evaluation and goal-setting c. to identify strengths and weaknesses d. to track the development of one more products/performances 2. Showcase Portfolios a. to showcase end-of-year/semester accomplishments b. to prepare a sample of best work for employment or college admission c. to showcase student perceptions of favorite, best or most important work d. to communicate a student's current aptitudes to future teachers 3. Evaluation Portfolios a. to document achievement for grading purposes b. to document progress towards standards c. to place students appropriately

Atmosphir - Free Video Game / Creation Tool for Mac and PC - 0 views

  •  
    This is a free videogame creation tool. How can you use this with your students? Will this pull in some of your students to create an alternate assessment? Instead of write a paper, or do a diaroma, create a video game that represents your idea. I love this stuff.
