Intel Post #1: Formative Assessments
What Research Says about Formative Assessment
Integrating formative assessment into instruction challenges both teachers and students. Is it worth it? Research provides a definitive answer: Yes, it is.
Intel Post #2: Assessing Creativity
Fostering Original Thinking
Helping students develop their creativity is a worthwhile goal if for no other reason than personal enhancement.

This tool is free even though you do have to register to use the full version. I would recommend to go on and register because it helps you set up projects using this tool with a wizard. This could be used for study skills, sequencing, goal setting, and within pretty much any subject where you might need to make a list. It's very user-friendly.
This is basically a module/unit/lesson plan that has a Teacher's Guide, checklist, rubric and detailed activity plans to teach the students about writing narratives and how to use technology to research and write their own narratives. This is a very good resource for teachers. The only thing it is missing are links to the technology/resources it instructs to use. You also have to be technologically able to do the activities that it suggests.

| Looking for a way to get students interested in engineering? Design and Discovery is a free program that includes a complete, downloadable and reproducible curriculum as well as related resource materials and an implementation guide. Design and Discovery is an academic enrichment opportunity that engages students in hands-on engineering and design activities intended to foster knowledge, skill development, and problem solving in the areas of science and engineering. Design and Discovery is most appropriate for informal education settings with extended blocks of time. Enter Design and Discovery. |

Seeing Reason Tool : Mindful Mapping of Cause and Effect
Analyzing cause-and-effect relationships is important to understanding complex systems. With the Seeing Reason Tool students create visual maps of the factors and relationships in a cause-and-effect investigation. These maps make thinking visible and promote collaboration as students work together to refine their understanding.
The tool and related resources are available for free, from any computer that is connected to the Internet. Students may work on their lists at home or at school, and can even compare their ideas with students located in distant classrooms.

One thing I found that was interesting to me was Design and Discovery. This is experiencing engineering through design. Just to let you know a little bit about it before you check it out, students explore fundamental concepts of design and engineering through hands-on activities. That is what I think is really cool about this program. Students are able to learn hands-on which I think is the best way to learn. The students are actually taking part in the aciton and they are more likely to retain that information and have a better appreciation for the subject they are studying. I never was big on science but I think if I had an opportunity to learn in such a way as this then I possibly would have had a more appreciation for it. Check it out!
The second thing that I found to be interesting was the Intel Learn Program. I too agree that it is important for us to open the doors for youth. Our youth is our tomorrow. Through this program, youth ages 8-16 are able to gain 21st century skills which they need to succeed in life. I think this is a beneficial program and I am amazed and pleased to see that the program has already reached more than 662,000 learners and is in multiply countries. Check it out!

Project Assessment
These are some projects "units" for all different grade levels. There are some really good assessment ideas. It even has rubrics, forms, and checklists that are already ready for the unit. You could also adapt any of these to another lesson you were teaching. Hopefully one of us will get to use one of these for our Unit planning!
Unit Plan Index!
This has a list of units and you can categorize them by grade level or subject. There units are very detailed and the few that I have looked at have a duration of 2-4 weeks, lots of great ideas! A classroom teacher participating in the Intel Teach Program developed the idea and a team of teachers expanded it into the lesson plan. Thank goodness for teachers sharing their ideas with us!!

This site helps students understand how a computer's cpu takes "input" and does mathematical computations to produce an "output". I saw some "assembly" programing language a few years ago and this is how instructions are processed by a "chip" to get from A to B so to speak. Students need to at least have an understanding of binary math to really understand how computers work at their core. This site doesn't explain binary math, but shows the steps that the ones and zeros go through in the many different parts of the processor to arrive at an output. It's a great insight into how the "chip" in your "box" works.

This site covers the manufacturing processes needed to make a computer chip. It discusses the hardware (silicon wafers) and the different chemicals that must be applied to the wafer to allow it to be "etched" by lasers as defined by it's "die" or template to make the chip. It also discusses the many chemicals that are used in the creation process at the fabrication plant.

I actually typed in Music and Education and found a great lesson on how to integrate music into history. It describes a wondeful project in which the students can engage in. It also describes questions that can be asked. I believe that this lesson demonstrates ways that students can physically see how music was incorporated in the older days.

This website shows ways that students can be assessed both formally and informally. It demonstrates ways that are accepted and other ways in which aren't very good ideas. I also liked that it showed a rubric which expressed in depth thinking and scattered thinking.
