Fun formative assessment ideas... - A six-second Vine video to capture the most critical six seconds of class - A 16-second video to post to MixBit, YouTube's new video sharing tool - A tweet that boils down the essence of the class to 140 characters - A photo illustrating the key learning moment that can then be posted on a class Instagram account - A question posted to a class Edmodo account inviting a continuation of the learning outside of class The key 21st century skill in all of these approaches is synthesis, the ability to cut to the essence of an idea or concept and communicate in an effective, succinct, compelling manner.
