A6 - ask them, tell them to prove to me you understand it and let them pick the method! #moedchat

A6: allow Ss to design their own assessments to show what they've learned or-my fav-show them the standards and say, "show me" #moedchat

@BebrownBrown wants to do the same, perhaps you could connect! #moedchat

A6: Would it be crazy to seek input from Ss? Have some student designed assessments? #MOedchat

aimeecmyers Aug 31 @ 10:53 PM EDT

A6- Allow them to utilize Web 2.0 tools to develop, create, collaborate, share #moedchat

The reality is we are pressed for time and we have too many standards to not have efficient assessments. #MOedchat

halliesmills Aug 31 @ 10:55 PM EDT

No, not crazy - but crazy smart. This could be very powerful! #moedchat

This this depends on the grade level? Subject matter? #moedchat

Wondering if most students would rather dawdle on a test or move along at a faster rate if they could. Conflicted here. #moedchat

It is great to think we have time to let kids pick assessments but not often is it practical or efficient. #MOedchat

Not crazy, revolutionary #moedchat

A6 When you develop assessments include students as part of the process. Give them choices based on their strengths. #moedchat

halliesmills Aug 31 @ 10:56 PM EDT

I bet there are so many good assessments that have been. We need a better sharing system - and I don't mean teachers pay teachers. #moedchat

Hey #MOedchat ... Join me and my @LindenwoodU undergrads Monday for #Teach2B ! We'll discuss the reflective T and use of Social Media!

wmchamberlain Aug 31 @ 10:56 PM EDT

Plus too many standards aren't worth the time we spend teaching them let alone assessing them. #keepingitreal #MOedchat

Thank you #moedchat. This has been great

itechbob Aug 31 @ 10:57 PM EDT

#moedchat So the question becomes...should we be prioritizing certain standards to gain time? Not easily possible in some school cultures.
