Alternative Assessment Using Google Sites
For my second project I began collaborating with my sister-in-law. She is a technology coordinator, and Ph.D. in education, at a private school in California. I understood the implications and opportunities that technology could present not only for teachers to collaborate but also to better meet the needs of gifted and other learners. I needed Anne's help to bring that reality to fruition.
Anne and I were able to work together using Google Sites to lay the framework for an Internet or "cloud" based means to assess the gifted learner. I interviewed the technology representatives from schools in the Northern Virginia area. Then Anne and I formed the Google Sites, web-based, portfolio that the PowerPoint here outlines. She created the framework and I then created the rubrics and performance goals that would go into the portfolio, I treated my classmates as school-based colleagues and allowed them access to the Google Sites portfolio so they could also evaluate the "student".
I would be more than happy to share the portfolio with anyone who has a Gmail account and wishes to look at it. In fact, that was one of the draws to using Google Sites; privacy.
