Assessment Challenges
Large class sizes make it challenging to engage in one-on-one conversation with students frequently enough.
Evidence of student thinking during the learning process can be hard to document with traditional tools.
Collecting journals, notecards, post-its, quizzes, projects, etc. can create a logistical challenge!
Some students dont express their best thinking in writing, especially young students and students with special learning needs.

Kids engage in all kinds of literature conversation through out the day. In the past, much of that was lost. Now, we can document and assess that valuable conversation and thinking. Consider using digital artifacts at parent conferences or creating snapshots over time.
