I cannot connect to the recorded version.
Is there a link to watch it ?
Thanks.
The recording of the webinar is now available as a ScratchEd resource.
Great, talk, sorry I missed the live version, but Memorex is just as good (okay I'm dating myself)
Here are some of my initial notes and thoughts:
How do you Assess?
Damn good question and I LOVED Karen's line:
The problem is that the things that are easy (ie: quick and inexpensive) and "fair" (standarizable across a wide population) to assess are not what I care about.
What do I hope kids learning:
I also want to comment on the question that came up towards the end
But that's another post.
