We have been focusing on high yield instructional strategies in our district and specifically ways to increase student ownership of their own learning. This is a great way to showcase this strategy. Thank you.

Using iPad for assessment
At Coxsackie Elementary (in the Coxsackie Athens Central School District), I am a second grade teacher. I used to think that it could be too time consuming to use the iPad for assessment, now I realize how fast and easy it can be. Students used their iPads to share their understanding of a hands on lesson about pollination. They used 3 key vocabulary words that were given to them, took a picture of their model, and used the 3 vocab words in a short description of the pollination process. I was able to view/listen to their recordings to quickly and easily assess their understanding.

Thanks for sharing your experience! Totally agree that being able to listen to students share their thinking is a powerful element of using iPad for assessment. It opens new doors for understanding where students are with their learning.
