The online Conference I attended was PROVE IT KEYNOTE: “Asking Bigger Questions About Assessments“.  Gardner Campbell gave an insightful talk about basing assessments on something that has value and that gives true meaning to what a student knows.  A wonderful comparison to many of Shakespeare’s plays, Gardner brings us through a quick evolution of assessments.  From the oral dissertation in front of an audience to the regimented rows of a filled classroom, he makes you think about how one can improve the type of assessment and the way we use assessments in our classrooms.  I thought it was a great conference and I need to see how I might implement some of his ideas.
