Britannica.com videolectures.net George McCourt Teaching Snapshots I was never sold on the traditional exam method because once you leave school, you will rarely, if ever, be in that situation again. I believe in creating assessment strategies that are reflective of the real world, and which focus on student-centred learning. For example in my Geosystems course, students create mineral and rock identification keys, which first require them to teach themselves the basics of mineral and rock identification. I have also introduced open-book, open-discussion lab exams, which, by having students discuss and defend their answers, become much more real-world, problem-solving experiences that students can benefit from throughout their careers. In another course, Global Environments, an assignment asks students to research and present both sides of a complex environmental issue. Oral presentations are another extremely important tool that I use in a couple of courses.
Primary Resources and Real-World Data Where can I find historical speeches, posters, and maps? My students like real-world data and statistics for math problems, where can I find this type of information? What are the best sources of historical documents, oral histories, and other authentic resources? The Internet provides access to a wide range of primary resources such as letters, diaries, journals, logs, data, documents, speeches, and videos. Students can also create authentic information through collecting oral histories, conducting polls and surveys, and keeping journals.
