Artifact Assessment

This semester I am trying to get my students to create products of learning in addition to evaluating them with the typical standardized test. "Authentic assessment" is becoming a more common in education in response to the last 10-15 year focus on standardized curriculums. With the digital age and the advent of Web 2.0 tools, students have a variety of ways to express themselves creatively. My students are creating their own digital portfolios using blogs. My ambition is that they have a digital running record of artifacts throughout the year that they can reflect on and review in preparation for the EOC exam. The posts on here will highlight student examples.
