Speechless.

Posted on January 20, 2009April 27, 2010by Jon K.

Ah the irony of being speechless on this day where something else is happening, I’ve heard. This A List Apart article about education and web design hits close to home. I commented on it over there, but I’d like to re-iterate that it hits the nail on the head with this subject.

@JFreshHockey Wait til someone comes up with some "great" penalties/60 and calls it the grit factor or something. We'll be yearning for offside discussions.

@ClareSealy @bjaerosmith @C_Hendrick My answer for this is don't assess the end product (essay) assess the process - first drafts, annotated bibliographies, feedback and improvements. It changes the way you assess, but let students use AI for generating the essay proposal. Feedback shifts it to their voice.

@krussellphd1 @ReninaWrites They also make things clear, and make expectations explicit. If your assignments do that, then you probably don't need one. Creativity can be accounted for with rubrics. Where rubrics often fail is the components of "meeting a standard" that is often based on white standards.

@jasonlamb You were paid to test it, not to act as QA.

@joedale @mansiontwit I have one, and it's stellar. The price is worth it.

@jasonlamb I think they were banking on a breakout season. Montreal dodged a bullet there.

@burritosesh @trustablegenius It's the sort of thing important to the local scene, but I don't think it'll resonate on a global level. Youth Youth Youth and Direct Action are the two best TOHC from the 80's.
