Check out this link and thing about assessment. How do we want our projects to be assessed? []

Assignment #1 rubric:
As we have discussed assessment is difficult and educators/trainers continue to struggle to find authentic ones that truly measure what is important. So please consider this project an exploration and very much formative. 1. Select **just one** of your learning goals, preferably one that provides a challenge for creating an assessment.

4. Report on your experience. Please include the following:
a. What were your learning goals and which did you decide to assess. b. What measures did consider and why did you select the one you did. c. What interactions were necessary with your target audience. d. What are your observations/conclusions about the process.

5. Final delivery is expected to be a 2-3 page report of what you learned about your design, your target audience and the process of assessment.
Please post in the forums under the thread for assessments. Due Next Thursday with one week extensions available if needed.

 * Conference Guidelines **

For the **conference presentation** plan for a mostly verbal presentations supplemented with media (video, powerpoint, audio) but please keep any use of video to less than two minutes of your time. We want to hear what you think and how you present yourself. . We want to hear your story in your voice. Keep your audience in mind and your media elements appropriate and short. After the presentation, you will be asked questions by a pane


 * You will present to a local audience of students, guests and faculty and a virtual audience. Please invite co-workers, families and friends who cannot attend in person to watch online.
 * Presentations will be timed at 10 minutes, with a warning at 8 minute mark. It takes practice to give a good talk within a short time period. Practice with family and friends before coming to the meeting. The practice periods on Monday with your cadre will double check your readiness to present your work.
 * You are expected to arrive with your paper completed and 5 copies to share with faculty and about 25 brochures with business cards to share with the audience. You will hand a paper, brochure, and card to me and Valerie on Monday, and to each of the review panelist before your session. Then you should distribute the brochures to the audience—think of them as advertisements or invitation to visit your website.
 * Consistent “branding” is helpful as your audience will be confident that they found the right place. Your brochure should have enough information that someone who does not know you or your project will have a good overview.
 * Think about what will make your presentation memorable to someone who is likely to see dozens of other exhibits? You can bring props or small items that match your metaphor to give to the audience. For example if you were using the ocean as a metaphor, action research quotes written on the underside of seashells can be fun. If your metaphor was plant growth, a pack of seeds with the name of your project and link might be fun. If you were using optics, then a small magnifying glass with a label with your title, name and website might work. You don’t have to do these things, but it can be a way to get people to think about your metaphor and these things can be quite inexpensive. To keep costs low, you can plan only to share them with the cadre or only to share them with the kids of cadre members.


 * IMPORTANT: If you plan to use photographs, video or student work on your display, please be sure you have obtained appropriate permission.
