About Me
I am founding a new startup these days - www.tutorra.com - it's a game where kids in elementary school (mainly grades 3-6) can trade knowledge, create and share, and rediscover not only the joy in curiosity but their natural learning abilities.

I am active on many social network, mainly twitter and facebook, to help build relationship with more education innovators from around the world.

You can often find my on twitter, esecially during the #edchat (every Tuesday).

    Hey there -

     

    Thanks for the really good question.  I teach in the humanities and much of the grading is on completion of academic tasks, written/verbal reflection and projects.  At my school we use a common rubric for the large projects which we call benchmarks.

     

    Grading is on learning task completion, willingness to engage in the learning activities and evidence learning.  A large portion of their grade comes from 2-3 large projects given over the course of the quarter and then assessed with a more filled out version of the rubric skeleton I linked to above.

     

    Talk soon,

    Diana
