Turning Lemons into Lemonade
• The events culminating around last springs school
closures left me with two main questions…
• How was I going to ensure that students were
engaged with content material?
• What would fair and equitable assessment look like?
• If the process of delving into remote learning has
taught me one thing over the course of the last year
it is in the power of tech based assessment that not
only engages my students but allows me to asses
them along the way.
