Title
Performance Assessment--A Promotional Project
Project Description
Create
a web site to promote the use of performance tasks. This website
will provide an abstract of a sample performance task and will provide the
viewer of this website with the information and instruction needed to convince students, parents,
and others that performance tasks are everything they are all cracked up to be.
The website will be clear about both the advantages and disadvantages of
performance tasks. The website will
provide information to help educators overcome the objections about using
performance tasks. This project serves two purposes. 1) To encourage teachers to use of performance tasks appropriately and 2)
To teachers with an opportunity to summarize the important details of a created performance
assessment task.
Task Prompt
You are a web page
designer/editor for a publishing company MacGraw-Spill.
As an editor for this major textbook publishing company, you want to
promote the use of performance tasks, so that you can sell materials. Your task
is to create a promotional/instructional website to increase the use of
performance tasks by educators at all levels. Since your company hires teachers
to write performance tasks, you will also need to encourage and recruit teachers
to write these tasks for display on MacGraw-Spill’s site.
This
website, will be accessible from the SUNY Oswego server, encourage teachers to
visit and participate in the site, provide a rationale for using and creating
performance tasks, and provide a basic one page abstract of a sample performance
task you have created. Think of the website as a promotional brochure, with a
link to the one page abstract of an exemplary task.
In
summary, you will create a website that will help new teachers make proper use of performance tasks.
For example, what would you say to get a new teacher involved in using performance tasks? What should a new teacher know about when and how to
use performance tasks appropriately? What should a new teacher know about the
problems of using performance tasks?
Additional Information:
1. The site must include at least 2 pages.
2. The pages from the main page must be created and linked directly to
individual pages.
3. At least one external link should exist on the main page.
4. Pictures and/or animation is recommended.
5. Alternatives to Netscape Composer may be used.
6. This is a group assignment where everyone in the group contributes to the
site.
7. Students who worked on the paper and pencil test, may, with permission,
alter this assignment.
When you have completed your web-page send me an email with the web address, so that I can post it.
