A3 Digital portfolios with iterative feedback cycles. Much more valuable and requires reflection, which standard grades don't. #moedchat

A3: if it's an assessment, it's easier. Grades are connected too closely with percentages and letters.... #MOedchat

Q3- What are some ways you could give a grade without attaching a letter? #moedchat
