Two stars: I loved the discussion about the ipad project. Dan was very honest about the student's frustration and issues, but at the same time looking at the what a student did manage to produce. It was nice to see the different projects built on the laptops verses the ipad and the discussion on the different products that came from that. His explicit discussion of how to use the right tool and plan for that tool was interesting as well. Given our discussion that we started this class with, that you shouldn't build your lessons around the tool, but instead find the tool afterwards is a bit idealistic and it was nice to see the other side of it, the practicality of only having the one tool, (iPad) available for students.
The second star was for the full use of the rubric, explaining the choices and issues with using a rubric. I love the idea of student assessment, so the idea that you use the exact same rubric and allow peers to assess projects. This ability to show exactly how marking occurs and how a rubric is being utilized is powerful to our students and I loved that.
Wish: I wish we had this presentation lined up with the iPad one, so that we could play with all those student assignments and use the apps and ideas brought up in this presentation.
