Participants will observe a project-based alternative to semester-end exams utilizing Apple Pages. Student examples will be available for review.
Participants will be able to review data collected over the course of three years to track student success measured both quantitatively and qualitatively.
Research organization using Wakelet will also be discussed in this poster session.
Even if replacing exams is not an option for some educators, they can still perhaps get insight, ideas, or information on how to incorporate project-based activities to promote student choice and voice in place of a more traditional assessment method.
