Assessment: Grading  Students will have to upload their journal project as an attachment into Webct.  The instructor will have to open the attachment: print it into journal to make ink annotations and assign a grade.  Then the instructor will send the graded assignment back as an attachment to the student.

5. 10 items to consider 1.We will get our content into the tablet by using Webct. 2.Students will use Webct to receive their assignments. 3.The presentation is a series of hands-on activities, therefore the students will constantly be engaged. 4.Student work will be submitted via Webct

6. 5. The TabletPC “ink annotations” will be used to write comments and to assign a grade to the students. 6. The graded and commented project will be returned as a Webct attachment. 7. We will have “lids-down” time if we revisit the quiz by using the projector or a PowerPoint to have a verbal discussion.

7. 8. We may have to switch our table arrangements from groups to rows. We will have maintenance of equipment problems. 9. This is very repeatable, because it will be easy to view artworks and take quizzes with color.
