Group Activity 2
1. Firstly consider what you do in your classes including, but not confined to, the integration of ICT, and how you assess this. Then take into account what you have read about concerning process and product. Make a list of all the things that you assess.
2. Write an e-mail to the group in which you complete the following sentence:
We can assess how learners...for example you could add items such as:
- remember things
- draw a picture
- communicate with each other
and many more....
3. Compile a list of what we assess based on the ideas and experiences of your group as you read their e-mails.
4. Divide this list into things that you already assess in class and things that you have not assessed before.
5. For items that you have not assessed before, indicate how you could in future include these in assessment then share on the course blog.
6. Conclude this activity by making reflective comments in your blog.

• Are creative in making, writing and presenting things
I have not assessed how students
• Think critically – I could create a critical analysis, reasoning and data analysis checklist and rubric
• Problem solve – I could create a problem solving, drawing conclusions, interpretation, generalizing, and inferences checklist and rubric
• Speak – I could create a speaking checklist
• Create Creative Presentations
• Monitor their self-direction and their self-management – I could create a task analysis, self-direction, project plan, project plan checklist and rubric

I have not assessed how students
1. Make presentations via multimedia
2. Conduct surveys.
3. Conduct interviews outside the classroom
4. Monitor self-direction
5. Design newsletters, magazines and diaries.
In effort to try the methods of assessment that I have not used, I could
1. Involve students in the planning and implementation of assessments, particularly with the creation of rubrics and/or checklists. In doing so, they would develop some level of responsibility for their own learning.
2. Invite expert personnel to be a part of the learning experience. In the case of interview, invite a media personality to aid students with tips on conducting an effective interview. In the case of the multimedia presentations, have a technical come and share tools that would assist the students in effectively creating multimedia presentations. This mode would also be used in the areas of conducting surveys and creating newsletters and magazines.
Hi All,
DeleteI realized that you have all assessed a wide variety of areas and skills. When students are assessed in different ways they tend to find learning meaningful and enjoyable. Keep up the great work.
