I chose this video because it highlights how technology can be used to differentiate instruction and of course assessment. I think this is one of the biggest areas where technology can be a game changer in terms of presenting material in different manners and allowing students to show their knowledge and application in different ways. The comments about day to day feedback and self assessment was a theme I found in several of the clips and articles.
This video looks at improving assessments so they don’t just measure learning but help create learning. It had some great examples of where folks go wrong and focuses on higher education where I preside. I enjoyed how it outlined better steps to lead to learning. Thinking about incorporating peer feedback as well as the need for good rubrics played in well to the greater themes.
