PBJellyGames - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1 - Summative is still good. If you can lesson dev well, students can do plenty of answer collection with books / signs. #MInecraftED

A2 - One con is that these assessments often take more time and need to be more carefully planned than a test. #MInecraftED

MathCraftPLC Mar 8 @ 8:22 PM EST

Videos can take time for students to get used to making. it can take an hour for some students to make a 5 minute video #MInecraftED

johnmillerEDU Mar 8 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: Pros include being able to reward Ss for completing series of tasks. For some that is a huge accomplishment. #MInecraftED

_Saul_Garza Mar 8 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2 :A challenge i see is that results can vary and needs to be assessed much more carefully than a simple multiple choice. #MinecraftED

irvspanish Mar 8 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2: Con: Developing a rubric that is specific enough to meet your outcomes without ruining the fun of gaming #MInecraftED

A2 PRO: Ss will not just spit out info, in essence they are showing their mastery & applying it rather than spitting out info #MinecraftED

johnmillerEDU Mar 8 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2: Con - Always difficult to adequately “score” creativity. Rubrics are meaningless in MC as my Ss always surprise me. #MInecraftED

PBJellyGames - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:25 PM EST

A2 - Con - Yes assesment and writing takes time - Pro - Assessment and writing takes good time thoughtful time - growth time! #MInecraftED

ghoward414 - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:26 PM EST

#MInecraftED Deep Experiences and adventure are the ones that are rememebered too :D @irvspanish https://t.co/khmiyEl9pX

irvspanish Mar 8 @ 8:35 PM EST

@PBJellyGames that's the key!! Deep adventure..it's not a "test" it's using my knowledge to "win" the game

dustin7carson Mar 8 @ 8:38 PM EST

@MGrundel @irvspanish @PBJellyGames Key as the curriculum purpose. From a kick off 2 inquiry or summative literacy of novel #MInecraftED

johnmillerEDU Mar 8 @ 8:39 PM EST

A3 I’m more interested in formative. Putting it all together at the end of unit is great, but love seeing the process. #MInecraftED

@_Saul_Garza just finished learning types of bridges, will be building next week. They need to finish their Treehouses first #minecrafted

MathCraftPLC Mar 8 @ 8:41 PM EST

#MInecraftED I still keep the standardized test but they much rather build the math to show they know it

itsmeSpiri - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:41 PM EST

A3) Formative assessment more so, one that includes collaboration, engagement & motivation, summative more focused on concepts #minecrafted

MGrundel - Moderator Mar 8 @ 8:41 PM EST

In Sci, Ss are building models of atoms, the projects are due tomorrow & I am looking forward to tweeting out some amazing pic #MinecraftED
