Interactivity #3 Feedback

All group spreadsheets and blog posts comprising Interactivity #3 have now been formally assessed and final scores have been posted to your Engrade accounts. 

The average score was quite high (86%). Some individuals and groups excelled at this assignment; other individuals unfortunately missed the target or did not participate at all.  However, most groups worked together very well to create an organized, content-specific inventory. Well done.

If you had points deducted from your individual score, it was probably for one or more of the following reasons:

  • Your contributions to the group spreadsheet was minimal, last-minute or less-than substantial (up to 20 points).
  • The group spreadsheet lacked a coherent organizational structure (10 points). Chapter Three in the course text provided you with a possible structure for categorizing your technologies (e.g., content management, authoring tools, collaboration, etc.).   While you were not required to use this particular structure, you were required to organize your technologies into some coherent structure. It was unacceptable to organize your inventory according to individual group names or to have categories assigned to specific group members. The group assignment was to produce one cohesive inventory—not multiple ones. Organization was worth 10 points according to the assessment rubric.

If you were docked points, please re-view the original Interactivity #3 guidelines and your Google spreadsheet prior to contacting me with questions or concerns. If you are still confused about your assigned score then send me an email with your specific concern to set up a phone discussion.

It is important that you understand the basic functionality of Google Spreadsheets, as each of you will use it for Interactivity #4 and also for the final project of the semester. If you are curious as to how Google Spreadsheets can support your teaching, [this is a good starter resource].
