Critical Thinking Assessment Wiki

We have worked 2 days in June and 2 days in July. This has been very difficult work and a lot of going round and round. We are quite an array of educators from ACPS, including.... High school, English, History, etc., middle school, elementary, engineering, lit specialists, artists, future coaches... data crunchers, DART leaders, etc. SO!!

In fact, it was so messy in real life as well as on the wiki, that I spent all morning just cleaning up the wiki and making it NOT 27 pages long. The process has been amazing and hard and good and frustrating. We have all grown... we have all learned from each other... and we have far to go. Carry on... if I participate, I benefit. (but... I'm a tad overwhelmed with everything, too.) EDUSTAT is coming this weekend. (and I have still haven't blogged or mentioned anything about NECC last month (I have notes on Google docs) or the 10 day beach time with family at Nags Head... or summer school work this week, or final WES web page work, or packing up 25 years of teaching materials from my classroom, or the online UVA course I'm taking this summer, or the exciting opportunity I'm going to have in a couple of weeks at Alan November's BLC conference...

STOP! FOCUS on classwork right now! Digital storytelling it is... Animoto here I come!
