Assessment

I think that with Project Based Learning, there are many forms of assessment that can be assessed. I personally think it is important to assess the process as well as the final product. I also really like the idea of students using reflection as a way to raise their own metacognition and provide a guide for students doing similar things in the future.

Week 2

I really liked reading the article on the revised and revisited Blooms Taxonomy. I think we need to consider how student created and centered projects foster higher level thinking skills, and bring a greater awareness to how to create such projects at that level.

Also, when it comes to levels of LoTi, I found myself thinking that some of the scenarios were in the middle of 2 described levels. I also like that we can take a quiz to assess usage, I think that is a great tool to show educators, and administrators to get them thinking about where their building is at.

Week 1

It was interesting to see different ways of assessing the various levels of technology implementation and usage. I think our group had differing opinions of how to address various levels in schools and to address LoTi issues and changes.

I think the largest challenge in getting educators to be more up to date with their usage and knowledge is that people don't like to change because it means more work, changing the way they teach.
