Alternative Assessment with technology

I’m meeting with a group of teachers to discuss alternative assessment using technology. This is the message I sent to them detailing our first meeting:

During this lunch period, I’d like to:

1. Show you some alternative assessments that other teachers have done with their students.
2. Talk about how to make alternative assessments rigorous
3. Discuss the time and support involved in making alternative assessments
4. Discuss appropriate next steps

Please look at the following links - it will really help when we meet!
