Check back to see reviews of edtech tools. If you have any that you’d like us to evaluate, send them along!… [Read More]

How do we create guidelines and rubrics that allow flexibility for student-selected demonstrations of learning?
Recently, we have been working with middle school technology teachers to develop a DDM (District Determined Measure – more on those here, better get some coffee first).

The challenge came in creating the prompt (activity, assessment) that would give the teachers enough information to identify if students got it or where they needed more practice and instruction.
