Assessment

**Looking for different ways to assess your students progress besides the normal pen and paper?**
When assigning projects, it is always best to have a rubric. Below is a link for a rubric generator that is easy to use. @http://rubistar.4teachers.org/ [|Rubistar Tutorials]

Google Docs you can have your students upload their lab documents to google docs and share with the partners for peer assessment.

Wikis- have your students create a project wiki. Group your students with one other in the same class and then 2 from another class. This will promote student collaboration and teach your students how to work in long distance collaboration. Each member can add their piece to the wiki that can review over a certain unit. This could be used as a final assessment for the semester.

[|ePortfolios-]
Here students can collect all o their assignments and projects into one location. Having an electronic portfolio adds another dimension. This allows students to add interactivity to their portfolio.

voiceThread- Have your students create a voice thread where they can discuss and explain their contributions to their portfolio. Voicethread allows students to even annotate on the documents they submit.
