Classroom Assessment: Minute by Minute, Day by Day Response

3 things learned
1. I really liked the reference to quality assurance and quality control.  As the article articulated assessment for learning requires an ongoing recognition of having to adjust and the quality of the learning.
2. Clarifying intentions and expectations for the students I believe is possibly one of the best methods for getting the students to participate better in class.  Once a teacher or anybody can level with the student and tell them why they do what they do the student will most likely be more apt to do a better job with the material.
3. Providing feedback that moves students forward is something I'm not sure if I considered, but is definitely something that is very important because if I were to just say good job and hand an assignment back what would the student really get from that feedback besides satisfaction that I approved.

2 Connections
1. The one I like most is providing feedback that moves students forward.  With this I could encourage students to pursue an idea for a project or help them to further concrete a certain topic that we might be discussing.
2. I would like to encourage the 'owners of their learning' as the article put it.  Once a student can feel responsible for what they have learned or what they need to learn they can then be more likely to want to do well.

1 Question
1. How can I best accomplish implementation of assessment for learning into my own instructional strategies, as well as my own technology instructional strategies?
