Assessment in the Classroom Revisited

The most interesting pieces I found in this section were in the exploration activity.  Dr. William's video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXpBZmeXrDo&feature=youtu.be) provided some good points to ponder.

• Collect only the data needed to the desired outcome.
• Hyper correction affect
• Some summative assessments are necessary.

• Different viewpoints from usual studies and a broader audience
• Key Findings student perceptions pg 10
• Recommendations

New ideas from discussions

• OK Go video questions: how many times did they have to run that Rube Goldberg machine?!

• Rube Goldberg machines for energy performance assessment
• Making learning a collaborative venture with the student and the teacher and removing the "us versus them" mindset

Reflective Blog Journal Enter the Hall-way

Since as I understand it, a blog is an informal, online, multimedia capable journal.   To that end, I intend to use this as a way to keep track of key ideas.  My focus then is two pronged and arranged in that manner.  Either collecting useful information I would share with my course now, Sci 226 pre-service K-5 teachers, or hoarding what might be handy if I move into a middle school science classroom next year.
