I have a favorite article I share with new teachers “What to say when the WOLVES come knockin’! by Lisa Murphy
In it she talks of the desire parents, administrators, colleagues, principals and even ourselves (the ‘wolves’) have for goals, objectives and activities that are aligned with standards, benchmarks and an assortment of desired results. “Wolves need obvious links between classroom projects and established learning guidelines.”
I am in constant pursuit to equip teachers with the vocabulary to answer that age old question “But what are they learning?” Ohlers addresses the complications in assessing new media with old vocabulary “teachers need to be able to respond reasonably and meaningfully…”
I support the idea that assessment tools for DST must reflect the work not just the product.
