Assessment Team Directions! You can be role models for your peers! Feel free to share you “suggestions” with each other to “critique” each others work---before they are scored by the “Assessment Team!” Creating a “4” slide it takes a little imagination and a lot of work to create something that is not only creative but that has strong content.  Students will share their work with each other and hopefully inspire each other with ideas to score that “4”.  With your “Assessment Team” you will use this rubric as a guide to score student slides. Your team will discuss and agree upon certain indicators and elements that should be high priorities according to that students slide. The expectation is that by the end of your evaluation, your team has gathered and shared a reasonable amount of evidence on each indicator to support a rating for that student.

Speak Up 2016 202818 11-29-16 Speakup 2016 Grade 6-8  30 questions Dear Student: This survey is about your education including your use of technology and how well your school is preparing you for the future. Your opinions matter! Since 2003, over 4.5 million students, teachers and parents have completed Speak Up surveys and that data has been shared with local, state, and national leaders to inform education decisions. The ideas that you will share on this survey will be used to improve education at schools around the world. All of your answers are 100% confidential. No one will ask your name on this survey. No one will know your answers.  The word "technology" means different things to different people. For this survey, technology means all kinds of electronic devices like computers, tablets, laptops, Chromebooks, and smartphones, as well as mobile and online resources. If there are any items that you do not understand or are not familiar with, please feel free to skip to the next question. By being part of Speak Up 2016, you are contributing to a bigger discussion worldwide about how to improve education for all students.  Congratulations on being part of Speak Up! We encourage you to also talk with your teachers, parents and classmates about your ideas about your education and your future as well.Thank you for your participation. Sincerely,  Your Speak Up Team @ Project Tomorrow

2016 Imagine you are invited to give the President (or the leaders of your country) a briefing on students’ ideas for improving education. What would you recommend? Specifically, how can the use of technology and the Internet in school increase students’ interest in learning and help prepare them for the jobs of the future? Be creative! Your country is counting on your good ideas!

Speak up 2015 Thinking about all of your classes in school this year, in which class is technology used the most effectively to engage students in learning? Tell us about that class. What types of technology are you using in that class (such as mobile devices, social media, digital games, videos or other online tools), and what is the impact of that technology usage on your learning?

Speak Up 2015 Now, help us predict the future of learning! What will “school” be like five years from now in 2020? How will emerging technologies change the way students go to school, take classes, interact with their teachers and classmates, and learn about the world? Share your ideas with us and we will share them with the futurists who are thinking about this same topic – your ideas are important to those discussions!

2014 Pick a school subject and tell us how using technology in that class could make that subject more interesting for you.  Some things to think about for your response: what type of class would it be, what type of technology would you like to use, and how would that technology help you learn more.

TODAY’S AGENDA Rotation 11 Class # 4 Standards: 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 You will need a rubric from the red star bin and a pencil Log onto computer—Put your name & Group # on the top of the Rubric.
