Welcome

    One performance assessment aspect of the project was observations of students as they progress through the project. Peregoy and Boyle (2005) point out, “Assessment should be based on observations of students as they engage in authentic learning tasks.”(p.  372) I worked to obseve what skills students were struggling with as they navigated the game. I used these observations to help me develop relevant lessons on literacy or science skills students needed to learn in order to complete the activities within the game. For my observations, I used an App on the iPad called Evidence for Learning.  I use this app because it allows me to take a picture of student work, add comments, link it to standards, tag skill (i.e. help with past tense), and link it to multiple students.
