I can see two snags with the "Modernizing Assessment in the age of Web 2.0."
ReplyDeleteI can't really see it at all because the print is too small! I'm over 50! Yes if you click it, it gets bigger, but in a small frame so there is much groping about with the mouse.
The second is from my increasing interest in plugging boys back into school. All this collaboration and group work in the portfolio is often cited as something that boys who are tuning out want to tune out the most.
When it comes to learning styles, a buddy said that portfolios were the attempt of a Gold thinker to be an Orange one. The Golds are super-organized and the Oranges are super social. Maybe, but now it is digital.

ReplyDeleteI did read the entire document "Modernizing Assessment in the age of Web 2.0" with interest amidst much "mouse groping" . Being a teacher in the early primary division assessment in the age of web 2.0 does not directly affect me in that I am working with digital "neophytes". It is however, very important for me to become aware of and to consider the implications are they pertain to me.
A few comments jumped out at me. One is the possible perception that factual knowledge is valueless in culture where Google and Wikipedia are a mouse click away. I chuckled as an image appeared in my head of 2 savy digital "natives" having a conversation amidst clicking away for the facts to support their dialogue.
Here is another comment that hit home. Prensky in "Digital Natives, Digital Immigrants" (2001) refers to todays learners as digital natives. He states that the biggest problem in Education today is that digital immigrant instructors who speak an outdated language (that of the pre-digital age), are struggling to teach a population that speaks an entirely new language.
I would question the thought that this is "the biggest problem with education today" however I do see that this is a real problem and this problem will always exist as new technologies continue to arise. There is no such thing as staus quo and we will continually be playing cacth up in Education.
In terms of assessment I can see the challenges clearly especially in Intermediate and Secondary where the students could teach the teachers a thing or two for the most part. I have often wondered in these online courses how the instructors assess given the constant barrage of dialogue. I can see assessing the assignements as a linear and tangible form of summative assessment, but I am intrigued by how to assess the rest.

I love computers but when it comes to cellphones I need a kid to program in the ringtones.

I love portfolios. I think that they are a great way to help kids reflect on their learning. My kindergartens even created their own, and were able to discuss them without my help, on parent night in the fall. In the eportfolios link it says that portfolios remain primraily reflective. I think that this is the key. How would I make it work with primary kids, or share it with teachers who are not yet comfortable with technology? Great question. Kids can use digital cameras. Kids can click on answers using programs like Clicker 5, kids can video reacord each other, kids can scan. All of these things are possible places to start with primary kids and their teachers for the purpose of eportfolios. I have to think this one through a bit more, that was just brainstorming. I wish I could be available to help people more....

You know, one of the best things about a student project in any electronic format, is that you can use the text to search for online plagiarism!
ReplyDeleteI think polls and surveys provide great feedback which is very valuable info to motivate improvements and also celebrate successes. Students and teachers are also usually quite willing to fill one out as they are quick and don't involve a lot of time. The data is easily compiled into charts for your library reports as well. Very handy! I always leave a space at the end for 'anything else' as well (which often results in very usable anecdotal comments).
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of online portfolios, but with student security at the forefront of everything we do, many of the ideas presented would not be feasible, such as using twitter or a blog that is public. I am going to investigate PB Wiki, though, and see how that could possibly work. Just out of curiousity, did the slide show feel like an advertisement for google applications to anyone else?
ReplyDeleteAs for the Assessment pdf, I had never heard of the terms assessment 1.0, 1.5 or even 2.0!! I think it's important to use some of the points for assessment 2.0, but as long as students will be required to write EQAO assessments to meet the current pen/paper expectations, we have to do some of this more traditional (1.0) type of assessment too.
MJ good point about EQAO!
ReplyDeleteWhat stood out for me in the Assessment 2.0 document was the lack of answers on how to assess work using Web 2.0 and the need to come up with a rubric for these new types of learning. The reason being is that I had a hard time coming up with a rubric to assess the Wiki that the students in my school did. In the end it was a mishmash of stuff. This is definitely an area where lots of work need to be done.
Portfolios really are the most authentic way to show student learning. I regularly do "online" portfolios; however, they are only online at our school. MJ - I thought it was a little bit ad-ish for Google BUT I am a walking endorsement for them. I know they can taylor advertising to my email content, etc. but I am willing to let them do that for the free, amazing technologies. I am on the beta testing list for Wave and can't wait until I get the email!
