DOODLE IT- Have students draw what they
understand, instead of writing it
COLD CALLING
Multimedia assessments- are an authentic
way to assess important content, speaking,
and technology skills. Elementary students
are surrounded by technology in their daily
lives, but may not be able to use it to
communicate effectively. A strong multimedia
presentation project can prepare them for
middle school, high school, and beyond.
GRADED TEST-Though not as engaging as
other options, tests at the end of a unit or
instructional period are a straightforward
way to assess student skills and knowledge.
All subjects can incorporate multiple-choice or
problem-solving tests They should still be
authentic, reliable, and valid, with a variety
of testing measures that do not increase
testing volume too much.
