Assessment

As of September 30, 2005, the North Central Regional Technology in Education Consortium is no longer in operation.

Assessment

Much of the assessment for these activities will be done informally in the classroom. Students will be highly involved with self-assessment as they complete the first two activities. The questioning process that they engage in with their partner will provide them with information about the effectiveness of their communication.

The student museum catalogs will be assessed using the following rubric:
