session 3, Thursday, March 8, 2007

I want to do math on www.youtube.com!!

Evaluation-formative is the way to go.

Let them see the good, the bad, and the ugly so that they will have a basis of comparison.

Love the idea of classmate to have students correct own paper with designed rubric or checklist while I do the problem out on the board. They can self-evaluate instead of seeing the number grade and trashing the paper!

Now can create a table in word that works!
Might even tackle excel one day!!

Will be joining Pete Small's world of prepared rubrics very soon!
Thank you class!

Reta, You are just a sponge, absorbing all this learning. Good for you! I love formative assessment, and also love showing teachers the difference between formative and summative assessment. It makes sense, doesn't it? I'm glad you got a good teaching tip,--and from a 4th grade teacher, too. Just goes to show the good stuff that comes out of teachers from different levels getting together and sharing. I know you'll find lots of uses for tables in Word. Play around with the online rubric makers. Way cool.
See you Monday,
Connie
