Re: Assessing Literacy Skills

Apologies if this appears twice...I was having a little misunderstanding
with Gmail.

Could you please add me to the list. We had a way of testing students that
was cumbersome enough as it was for the old skills of simple Internet, Word
Processing, and Spreadsheets. I'd love to see how you're able to pretest
them for things like blogging, audio editing, and creating videos.

Hmm...maybe at this point, with so many people interested, a link to the
rubric, rather than sending out individual copies, might be a good idea...as
well as a use of those 21st century skills. ;-)
