Can you identify 4 similarities between the first two images and the second two images? When I tasked myself with this exercise I came up with:
Did you come up with something along the same lines? I wouldn’t be surprised, since there are not a whole lot of similarities here. Now, if you asked me the differences between these two assessments, I could probably hand you an entire list. To begin, these assessments show the growth of an entire semester. The first sandbox assessment was created before expanding my knowledge on assessment techniques, technologies, structures, design, and data collection. I was given a technique to center an algebra assessment around, but that was the only constraint in my box. This gave me lots of room to play. What I found interesting is how much flexibility I had in my first assessment, yet how little flavor I gave it - I had the room to play but didn’t take advantage of it. Somehow, having the constraints placed on my assessment made me think outside the box (or inside the ‘sand’box in this case), and forced me to consider these different aspects of assessment. Because I had to include certain components in my assessment, I had to think about how these categories play an important part in assessment. Adding one category at a time throughout the semester allowed me to shift my attention to a new aspect of assessment each week, and figure out how I was going to highlight the importance of each. Knowing what I now know about assessment, I have redone the first sandbox assessment to see what I could come up with! Although having the constraints of each category placed on me made my assessments a little wonky, I now see the potential that my first assessment had. I included technologies, data collection techniques, clarified response format, and structure of the assessment. I would love to hear your thoughts on the improvements made!
