Assessing Digital Stories: The Opportunities and Challenges of New Media Evaluation
This chapter discussed how we evaluate student's work as we integrate technology and potentially digital story telling. I have not really considered this as a main challenge point until I read the discussion points brought up by Ohler. I think the most important thing he mentioned was the usefulness of assessing students throughout the process of creating a digital story. The end project is important, but you are also learning how to prepare on a schedule towards a goal and create good steps that will ultimately lead to a quality end product. Project management skills are practical and applicable skills I feel a parent would be able to relate to as someone already in the work force. I also like the discussions on rubrics. While a long complex rubric can be a bit overwhelming it is the most efficient way to communicate precisely what you want your students to accomplish and the way you want them to accomplish it. I looked online for some web 2.0 tools to create rubrics and found the following web site. while you can always modify a rubric for your individual needs it is nice to have a place to start.
