Re: The most tweeted remark from the 2010 NAIS annual conference...

I'll throw this bait out there, knowing I am setting myself up to be torn
apart, but how about we abolish grades and use a systematic creation of
digital portfolios instead? Isn't it obvious that grades are outdated,
highly fallible representations of a student's abilities and that a keyed,
online portfolio, while not infallible, would provide a much more accurate
representation of a student's skills, knowledge and overall abilities?

Yes, yes, and yes. I'm in the middle of a blog post about this exact idea.

Keep the ideas coming.

Cheers?

Bill
