Assessing+Student+Work

 ASSESSMENTS  If students are asked to use the Internet to research a theme or topic from which they will set their own paper title and the research is blogged and cross-referenced, then not only will the students feel involved in the process but also that all of their skills are being demonstrated--including the computer use, the software use, and the research skills. In that instance, each of those skill areas should be assigned a grade percentage so that students will feel that every skill they have used has been valued and contributed to their overall grade. Then they have a reason to improve both their technology skills and their academic skills. This means that the technology use will not sit outside the course but remain thoroughly integrated as part of the learning process.
