I use portfolos in class. students build their portfolios through the semester with assignments, artifacts, formative assessments from each other etc..in their learning portfolio.<br />

We all comment on each other's work in the class and students are asked to help each other build each other's portfolios by adding additional content and commentary.<br />

<br />
I also have students engage in action research projects related to their interests in education. I share these assignments w/ colleagues from outside the class to offer guided inquiry statements. Students then are asked to slect one of the prompts and expend their research in that area. I think it is importnat for students to see areas in their research that need to be expanded.

There have been lots of good comments hat you might access and how to distinguish beween good and poor performance. BUT the other issue is what are some mechanics of doing the grading and returning meaningful feebdack to students -- if the mechanics are too time consuming even the most dedicated teacher will burn out.<br />

<br />
I'vve been using Word's track changes and comments for electroncially submitted assignments. This lets me giive feedbck in the assignments and also create and reuse detailed comments using text, links, images and recorded audio. If the assignment is a Wiki page or set of discussion fourm posts or something else that is online I will often copy the item and paste it into Word and use the same tools. The assessment is then either emailed back to the student or returned via the Learning Managagement System (Moodle in our case).<br />
<br />
Below is a list of software that you can use to mark electronic assignments:<br />

Hi Steve,<br />
<br />
I teach college freshman, but I think that some of my wiki assessment strategies will work for younger students. Let me know how you would adapt them.<br />
<br />
For each writing assignment in my courses, students must develop a page in our wiki.<br />
<br />
Before they get each assignment, I develop a correspoding rubric that I save as a wikispaces template. The rubric is specific enough that students can use it to peer edit. After students create their draft wikispace page, a peer or two creates a link…
Hi Steve,<br />
<br />
I teach college freshman, but I think that some of my wiki assessment strategies will work for younger students. Let me know how you would adapt them.<br />
<br />
For each writing assignment in my courses, students must develop a page in our wiki.<br />
<br />
Before they get each assignment, I develop a correspoding rubric that I save as a wikispaces template. The rubric is specific enough that students can use it to peer edit. After students create their draft wikispace page, a peer or two creates a link at the bottom of the draft for their evaluation and then uses the rubric template to evaluate the draft and make recommendations for edits. The author can make revisions. When the final version is due, I evaluate each page by generating my own rubric page, scoring each element of the rubric, and providing formative feedback where appropriate.<br />
<br />
To encourage my freshman peer editors, I allow the authors to "tip" their editor, i.e. turn in a request at the end of the project that an influential editor be awarded a small fraction of the author's final grade as extra credit.<br />
<br />
Sometime I allow students to make one more round of revisions after I provide initial feedback. When I do, I can compare earlier and later drafts using the history function so that I don't have re-read the paper, but only focus on my feedback and their revisions.<br />
<br />
It is still a lot of reading and commenting, but there are side benefits to this strategy. When I grade each paper, I label it as "Graded" in the page with all of the papers' links. I also label the better papers with a "blue ribbon" icon next to its link. Since I allow students to edit their papers until I grade them, they read the feedback on the early papers and edit their papers based on my comments.<br />
<br />
This arrangement only works because everyone is writing their paper on a different topic, e.g. researching and describing a different school in our state. Several students have told me that they benefited from seeing how other papers were assessed, and I see this as a way for many students to benefit from the formative feedback that I provide others and encourage them to refine their writing. great ideas and linkstag:www.classroom20.com,2009-01-23:649749:Comment:2701602009-01-23T08:04:38.649ZJon Heydonhttps://www.classroom20.com/profile/JonHeydon

Thank you Andrew! I was learning so much so quickly that I lost track of what I learned where. Your work on Bloom's Digital Taxonomy has been a huge help in my ongoing development as a teacher. Thank you for making such an important contribution!!<br />

Hi Leslie and Nancy,<br />
Bloom's Digital taxonomy is available only on the edorigami wiki - <a href="http://edorigami.wikispaces.com">http://edorigami.wikispaces.com</a><br />
There is a PDF version 2.12 which is the most current one I have available, but I am currently reviewing this and should have a newer and fuller version out shortly.<br />
Hope this helps<br />
