Some kids, for example, may be experimenting with different ways to convert salt water to fresh water, while another group is working on a play they wrote. Older students help younger students and everyone benefits. The first form of evaluation is the students' written reflection on their accomplishments and success in reaching their goals. They compare the goals they set for themselves with their accomplishments. Then they set new goals.
Students participate in tournaments, games, plays and demonstrations.
Parents can see how their child's work compares with other children. The exhibition gives students the chance to teach their parents. The third measure is a process report from the teachers. Computer technology plays an important role by providing an efficient way teachers to make, store, and share observations about students. The technology tools that I envision for the 21st Century will be incredible, of course.
