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.

NWEA: Make Assessment Matter Students and Educators Want Tests that Support Learning  (https://www.nwea.org/content/uploads/2014/05/MakeAssessmentMatter_5-2014.pdf)

• 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?!
• Not letting a bad day/quiz/homework define us
• 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

Frustrations/Questions

• Is this the goal of the Blog?  Being a first time blogger and being old I am feeling uncertain as to how to make this different then other assignments.
• There were several broken links in various parts we looked at.  I copy the link along with hyperlinking it in most things that I distribute to my students to help with misfires.  Also being old I will freely name new concepts, please identify if there is a name for these ideas or if I am using a word incorrectly.
